Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 43, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare frequency of ureteral stent placement after ureteroscopic lithotripsy in a university and a state hospital of two different cities, which are endemic in terms of stone and often ureterolithotripsy was performed for urolithiasis treatment. Methods: The patients who applied in to urology clinic of Inonu University Turgut Ozal Medical Center (TOMC) and urology clinic of Osmaniye State Hospital (OSH) between January 2014 and May 2014 were evaluated retrospectively. The patients who underwent ureteroscopic lithotripsy due to ureteral stone, were evaluated stone locations, stone sizes, grades of pelvicaliectasia and ureteral stent placement status. Results: About 92 patients were enrolled into the study from the both hospital. After the endoscopic ureteral stone treatment, Double J stent was placed in 85 patients in TOMC (92.3%) and 82 patients in OSH (89.1%). Stent implantation rate in the university hospital was higher than the state hospital but this was not statistically significant. There was a statistically meaningful difference in mean operative time between the 2 groups. Conclusion: Double J stent placament is recently performed too often after the endoscopic ureteral stone treatment. According to our study, university hospitals have a higher rate of incidence of double j stent placement according to state hospitals. It can be reason for that, university hospitals as the last line treatment centers, more complicated cases that refer to these centers. But in this matter, prospective, multicenter and larger series studies are needed. Key words: Double J stent, ureterolithotripsy, DJS, ureterorenoscopy
