Objective To explore the value of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatograph (ERCP) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the treatment of pancreatic duct stones. Methods A retrospective collection of 28 patients with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic duct stones admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology from January 2010 to August 2021 was performed. According to the treatment of patients, they were divided into ERCP direct stone extraction group and ESWL combined ERCP stone extraction group. We compared the treatment effects of the two groups of patients, including the success rate of stone extraction, postoperative complications of ERCP, postoperative symptom improvement, and so on. Results Among the 28 patients, 19 cases underwent ERCP direct stone extraction, and 9 cases underwent ESWL combined with ERCP stone extraction. In the ERCP direct stone extraction group, 7 cases (36.84%) were completely extracted, 1 case was partially extracted (5.26%), and 11 cases (57.89%) failed to extract and only placed stents and drained; 5 cases (26.32%) had elevated white blood cells at 6 hours postoperatively, C-reactive protein increased in 4 cases (21.05%), 3 cases (15.79%) were diagnosed as ERCP-related pancreatitis, and 2 cases (10.53%) were diagnosed as hyperamylaseemia. The abdominal pain symptoms were completely relieved in 14 cases (73.68%) during a follow-up period of 3 to 6 months. The body mass of 17 cases (89.47%) increased in the 6 months after stone extraction. ESWL combined with ERCP had complete stone extraction in 5 cases (55.56%), partial stone extraction in 3 cases (33.33%), and failure in stone extraction and only stent drainage in 1 case (11.11%). One case (11.11%) had elevated white blood cells at 6 hours postoperatively, and 1 case (11.11%) had elevated C-reactive protein . One case (11.11%) was diagnosed with ERCP-related pancreatitis. One case (11.11%) got abdominal pain and transient hematuria during ESWL, which resolved spontaneously 3 days later. After 3 to 6 months of follow-up, 9 patients (100%) had complete relief of abdominal pain symptoms, and the body mass of 9 patients (100%) increased in the 6 months after stone extraction. The stone clearance rate of the ESWL combined with ERCP stone extraction group was higher than that of the ERCP direct stone extraction group (P=0.033), but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of ERCP-related complications, relief of abdominal pain, and weight gain (P>0.05). Conclusion ESWL combined with ERCP in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis complicated with pancreatic duct stone extraction is more effective than ERCP direct stone extraction.
ObjectiveTo summarize experience of endoscopic reverse biliary tract stent placement via choledochus in treatment of situs inversus totalis complicated with choledocholithiasis.MethodThe clinical data of one patient with situs inversus totalis complicated with choledocholithiasis in the Department of Tumor Surgery of Lanzhou University Second Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe ERCP was failed at the first admission, followed by the cholecystectomy plus choledocholithotomy plus T-tube drainage, the stones were removed. Two months later, choledochoscopy revealed multiple choledocholithiasis, then the holmium laser lithotripsy and bile duct stent placement was performed at the secondary admission, the postoperative recovery was good, it had been more than 2 months after the surgery, no stone recurrence occurred.ConclusionEndoscopic reverse biliary tract stent placement via choledochus is feasible, which can be used as an option for treatment of patient with situs inversus totalis complicated with choledocholithiasis.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the effectiveness and safety of transurethral ureteroscopy lithotripsy in the treatment of upper ureteral calculi. MethodsWe electronically searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2013), PubMed (1966 to 2013.8), EMbase (1990 to 2013.8), CNKI (1949 to 2013.9), CBM (1978 to 2013.9), VIP (1989 to 2013.8) and WanFang Data (1990 to 2013.8) for the randomized controlled studies (RCTs) related to retroperitoneoscopy ureterolithotomy versus transurethral ureteroscopy lithotripsy for upper ureteral calculi. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and evaluated methodological quality of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsA total of 16 RCTs involving 1 410 patients (transurethral ureteroscopy lithotripsy:747 cases; etroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy:663 cases) were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, transurethral ureteroscopy lithotripsy was lower than retroperitoneoscopy ureterolithotomy in success rates of surgery (OR=0.26, 95%CI 0.14 to 0.51), 3-day stone clearance rates (OR=0.06, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.11), and 1-month stone clearance rates (OR=0.21, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.53), while it showed superiority in operation time (MD=-22.35, 95%CI-35.29 to-9.41) and postoperative hospital stay (MD=-1.84, 95%CI-3.44 to-0.24). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that, in the treatment of upper ureteral calculi, transurethral ureteroscopy lithotripsy causes less operation time and postoperative hospital stay, but it had no advantage in success rates of surgery, 3-day stone clearance rates, and 1-month stone clearance rates.
Objective To investigate feasibility and curative effect of ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy in treatment of complicated hepatolithiasis. Methods The data of 42 patients with complicated hepatolithiasis from June 2012 to June 2017 in the Hepatobiliary Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy, including the first stage of dilation and drainage and the second stage choledochoscopy. Results The operations of the 42 patients were successfully performed. No case was converted to the conventional laparotomy. The puncture sites of 10 cases were at the right intrahepatic bile duct, 25 cases were at the left intrahepatic bile duct, and 7 cases were at the bilateral intrahepatic bile duct. The residual stones were removed by two stage choledochoscopy in the 31 patients, 11 patients had the residual stones. After the first stage, there were 4 cases of the bile duct hemorrhage, 8 cases of the cholangitis, 1 case of the pleural effusion and 1 case of the infection, 2 cases of the postoperative drainage tube shedding. After the second stage, there were 3 cases of the cholangitis and 3 cases of the postoperative drainage tube shedding. The stones of the 10/31 patients with stone removal occurred and the diseases of 9/11 patients with stone residual were stable during the following-up of (18.6±7.8) months. Conclusion Ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy including the first stage of dilation and drainage plus the second stage choledochoscopy is safe and effective in treatment of complex intrahepatic bile duct stones, it is an effective supplement to traditional surgery.
ObjectiveTo explore the perioperative nursing mode for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). MethodsA total of 866 patients with PCNL having undergone lithotripsy between January 2012 and December 2013 in our hospital were included in our study. Before surgery, they received position training, health education and psychological nursing. After surgery, patients received an integral medical wound care and pipeline management, as well as management of infectious shock and intercostal neuralgia. At the same time, we gave them dietary guidance and other health guidance. ResultsAll the patients were successfully discharged from hospital. Postoperative infection rate was 2.4%, septic shock rate was 0.2%, bleeding rate was 2.2%, urinary leakage rate was 1.5%, the rate of pneumothorax was 0.6%, subcutaneous emphysema rate was 0.3%, and intercostal neuralgia rate was 0.6%. The average hospital stay was (11.2±2.8) days. ConclusionThe innovative nursing mode and techniques have great significance on the success of PCNL surgery.
ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) versus ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URL) in the treatment of impacted proximal ureteral stones>1 cm. MethodsWe electronically searched PubMed, Cochrane library, Embase, WanFang, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and VIP database (by the end of July 2015) to collect randomized controlled trials involving PCNL vs. URL for the treatment of impacted proximal ureteral stones> 1 cm. The quality of those trials were assessed. Data were extracted and analyzed with RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsSix randomized controlled trials were finally obtained after screening. A total of 487 patients were included for a Meta-analysis. The results showed that, as compared with the control group (URL), the patients in the trial group (PCNL) had the following features: ① There was a remarkable improvement of stone clearance rate [RR=1.20, 95% CI (1.09, 1.33), P=0.000 3].② There was no statistical difference in postoperative fever rates, urinary tract perforation rates [RR=1.73, 95%CI (0.43, 7.00), P=0.45; RR=1.02, 95%CI (0.11, 9.37), P=0.99], but the incidence of hematuria was higher [RR=1.99, 95%CI (1.09, 3.62), P=0.03], and the mean operative duration was longer [WMD=30.03 minutes, 95%CI (10.04, 50.02) minuntes, P=0.003].③ The mean hospitalization stay was delayed by an average of 3.73 days [WMD=3.73 days, 95%CI (3.02, 4.44) days, P<0.000 01]. ConclusionPCNL is better than URL in the stone clearance rate, while patients in the PCNL group have to stay in the hospital much longer, and should bear longer mean operative duration.
