There are various causes of urinary infection after PCNL - DJ stent working as foreign body , giving more chances as nidus of infection via bacteria loading over it . - Inadequate fluid intake - Resistant bacteria as in your case .*. Usually it is around 3 - 4 weeks period by which we recommend DJ stent removal after PCNL , so it is the right. The PCNL procedure. PCNL is typically performed with the patient under general anaesthesia. During this procedure, a small tube called a catheter is placed in the bladder. The bladder catheter drains urine from the bladder and remains in place with the use of a balloon. Another catheter is placed into the ureter Purpose: Encrusted ureteral stents are a challenging endourologic problem. We performed a multi-institutional review of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) as primary treatment for encrusted stents. Materials and Methods: We identified 36 patients who underwent PCNL for treatment of an encrusted stent. A retrospective review was performed to compile details of procedures and outcomes for these.
PCNL and URSL were performed in 22 and 31 patients. Stone burdens in the PCNL and URSL groups were 232.8 +/- 113.2 mm2 and 150.3 +/- 70.3 mm2, respectively. The efficiency quotient (EQ) for the PCNL and URSL groups was 0.95 and 0.67, respectively. The stone-free rate at the 1 month follow-up was 95.4% in the PCNL group and 58% in the URSL group.

The majority (80.3%) perform PCNL in the prone position. Nearly 69.7% use the balloon dilators and 16.7% use the Amplatz dilators. For kidney drainage, 60.6% place a nephrostomy tube and a double-J stent (DJ stent) together and 4.5% perform tubeless PCNL (DJ stent only)
Dr. Raman Tanwar describes stent related problems and how to overcome them. This video in Hindi language makes it easy to understand what a stent is and why. CONCLUSIONS: Tubeless PCNL is effective and safe for uncomplicated PCNL in the absence of residual stones. Tubeless PCNL with EUC is associated with decreased pain, hospitalization time, and urine leakage compared with standard PCNL. However, it is only associated with decreased pain when compared with tubeless PCNL with DJ stent

Translated title of the contribution: [Single session cystolitholapaxy and PCNL for encrusted DJ stent with large associated stone burden] percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) failed; it would also be used as first-line treatment in selected patients. History The first ureteroscopy began by happenstance.1 Hugh Hampton Young, the Father of Modern Urology, introduced a Fr 12 Paediatric cystoscope into the massively dilated ureter of a child with posterior urethral valve in 1912 Introduction. DJ stent often causes distress when the removal is not performed in time. The removal process requires the use of X-ray procedures, including ESWL, URS, or PCNL, as neglected DJ stent tends to be covered with stones over time. 1 PCNL procedure is needed to fragment the stones covering the proximal side of the DJ stent. The introduction of US in PCNL, avoids or reduces the use of.
It has been reported that additional treatments, such as SWL, ureterorenoscopy, second-look PCNL and DJ stenting, is required with a rate of 10% after PCNL, even in experienced hands [25]. Only 1.7% of the patients required DJ stenting because of prolonged drainage and 2.3% of the patients required ureterorenoscopy, while SWL or second-look. Ultrasound suggests right DJ stent in situ, x-ray KUB showed Right calcified DJ stent with the encrusted lower end. X-ray also showed left renal stone. The patient gives a history of right PCNL with DJ stenting two years back. On blood investigations Hb 11.5, TLC 5600/mm3, Ur/cr 20/1.1, Urine c/s E coli sensitive to aminoglycosides DJ stent is short for 'Double J stent'. This is a small tube that is placed in the body from the kidney to the urinary bladder. This is kept for around 6 weeks. The lower portion is in the urinary bladder and is shaped as 'J' while the upper portion is like a mirror image. The shape helps in retaining the stent in the body A semirigid ureteroscopy showed DJ stent extruding out of the upper ureter at the L3 vertebral level. In view of large encrustations around the renal coil of the DJ stent, we did a PCNL to dislodge the encrustations . A gentle traction applied on the upper coil with grasping forceps allowed intact retrieval of the whole of the DJ stent
Mean stone size was 19.11 mm (range 10-37 mm) and mean operative time was 40.9 min (range 26-92 min). Twenty-seven renal units had upper calyceal puncture, whereas 12 had middle, 8 lower calyceal and 5 had two punctures. DJ stent was placed in 20 patients, whereas 32 patients were totally tubeless. Only three patients required a nephrostomy tube RESULTS: 18 renal units in 9 infants treated with bilateral PCNL in two sittings. Pre-op IPD, DJ stenting done in all cases. Urine was sterile in 5pts before PCNL. Complete stone clearance done all cases without need for second look PCNL. Mean operative time 60.22mins (From cystoscopy to placement of nephrostomy)
Abstract Objectives: To study the histopathologic changes in the urinary bladder associated with Double-J (DJ) stenting and the correlation between these changes and the period of stenting. Methods: In a 2-year period, a retrospective study was carried out on 30 patients indicated for DJ stenting. These patients underwent cold-cup cystoscopic biopsies from the ipsilateral ureteral orifice at. Good luck to you. 3 weeks with the stent seems excessive. Basically the only pain I felt from the PCNL was caused by the stent and I only had it in for 8 days.. Hopefully they will give you the tethered kind. I've had both kinds and the tethered one seems to use softer plastic and is more comfortable by far Ureteral stenting for nephrolithiasis is generally used a temporary measure to provide drainage of the renal pelvis when pyonephrosis PCNL/SENL in dogs and one cat include fever, hemorrhage, urosepsis, urine leakage, and secondary ureteral obstruction.

The stone burden in our study was26.8mm which higher than. Prolonged DJ stenting has been used as a primary modality for salvage in subset of patients who present early with mainly lower ureteric strictures that stabilize on prolonged stenting and ATT [30,31]. In our series, 8 patients were managed with stenting alone and none of them needed further reconstruction
The majority (80.3%) perform PCNL in the prone position. Nearly 69.7% use the balloon dilators and 16.7% use the Amplatz dilators. For kidney drainage, 60.6% place a nephrostomy tube and a double-J stent (DJ stent) together and 4.5% perform tubeless PCNL (DJ stent only) A 16-year-old man with horseshoe kidney presented with a right-sided forgotten double J stent (DJS), 1 year after bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy. X-ray of the kidney, ureter and bladder showed bilateral residual stones with no encrustations or stone formation on the DJS. Initial attempt of DJS removal using 22 French (Fr) cystoscope and 6/7.5 Fr semirigid ureteroscope failed due to. Introduction: We share our experience of managing 15 cases of forgotten double-J (DJ) stent in our tertiary care center. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of cases with forgotten DJ stent for a period of 2 years spanning from January 2017 to January 2019. The details included sex, age, literacy, socioeconomic status, stenting indication, duration of indwelling stent, presenting. Accurate puncture and dilation of the target kidney calices for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) can be difficult. This study aimed to investigate the advantages of PCNL using optical puncture (i.e. the puncture is visualized on a screen as seen through the needle) combined with balloon dilation vs. conventional puncture methods. This was a retrospective study of 58 consecutive patients. To compare ultra-mini PCNL (UMP) and flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) for the treatment of medium- to large-sized renal stones with a focus on patients' postsurgical cumulative analgesic consumption and treatment-related satisfaction. Twenty-five patients treated by UMP between April 2013 and October 2014 were matched to data of 25 fURS patients from an existing database
In the FG-PCNL group, those procedures were done under fluoroscopic guidance. Upon conclusion of the PCNL procedure, nephrostomy tube, double J (DJ) stent, or externalised ureteral catheter were placed based on any significant bleeding, residual stone fragments, or debris. Some patients had both nephrostomy tube and DJ stent. Evaluation Double-J stenting is a common procedure in urology because of prophylactic and therapeutic indications. Ureteroscopy is one of the most common methods to treat urinary stones. In many cases, ureteral stent insertion follows ureteroscopy.1 Removing DJ stent is the most important stage in patients. A loop suture to facilitate removal is easy to. Endourology - TURP, VIU, URS, PCNL, DJ Stenting, PCN, Flexible / RIRS (Prostate, Strictures & Stone related procedures).

However, when used to treat large stones (>3cm), RIRS can cause the formation steinstrasse (SS). Here, we present the case of a 68-year-old man with multiple stones in the collecting system of the right kidney after initial treatment with RIRS. After two years of multiple interventions, the SS was completely removed The patient underwent PCNL and stones were extracted under spinal anaesthesia and a DJ stent was placed (figure 2). On the second postoperative day, the patient developed breathlessness; an X-ray of the chest was performed for the same, which showed massive pleural effusion on the right side ( figure 3 )
nephrostomy tube and DJ stent (total tubeless PCNL). A Tubeless percutaneous procedure-one that omits the postoperative nephrostomy tube-was initially proposed by Wickham and colleagues (1981) [4]. The concept was revived by Bellman and colleagues (1997) [5], with the addition of an internal ureteral stent left in place for a week or two. After 3 days, we performed right PCNL and removed left double J (DJ) stent. Prior to this a right nephrostomogram was done (figure 4). All stones in the right kidney were removed employing three punctures and right DJ stent was kept (figure 5). No blood transfusions were needed Mini PCNL Dilator 22Fr - 1 piece. Ptfe guidewire curved tip 0.035 - 15 pieces. Zebra Guidewire 0.035 - 1 pieces. DJ Stent 6fr/26cm - 50 pieces. PCN catheter with trocar 10fr - 5 pieces. PCN catheter with trocar 12 fr - 5 pieces In group A (control group), the patients underwent standard PCNL with the insertion of a nephrostomy tube at completion; in group B (intervention group), modified tubeless PCNL was performed with a Double-J (DJ) stent inserted with a tether attached to its proximal end, taken out through the percutaneous tract To compare quality of life (QoL) indices between ureteral stent (DJS) and nephrostomy tube (PCN) inserted in the setting of acute ureteral obstruction. Prospective bi-centered study. Over the span of 2 years, 45 DJS and 30 PCN patients were recruited. Quality of life was assessed by 2 questionnaires, EuroQol EQ-5D and 'Tube symptoms' questionnaire, at 2 time points (at discharge after.
Of 85 cases performed, DJ stent alone (tubeless PCNL) was put in for postoperative drainage in 54 patients , b, nephrostomy tube in 13 patients, whereas in 18 patients, DJ stent with nephrostomy tube was put in c. The mean operation time was found to be 93.56 ± 9.90 min (range 78-125 min) pregnancy is a placement of Double J stent and definitive treatment after pregnancy. Percutaneous nephrostomy can be used in pregnant women. To avoid blockage DJ stent must be changed every 4-6 weeks. Definitive treatment in the form of PCNL is contraindicated during pregnancy becaus PCNL was first performed in Sweden in 1973 as a less invasive alternative to open surgery on the kidneys. The term percutaneous means that the procedure is done through the skin. Nephrolithotomy is a term formed from two Greek words that mean kidney and removing stones by cutting.

Introduction: PCNL has now become the standard minimally invasive treatment for renal stones≥1.5cm.Many modifications came forward to reduce the drawbacks of placement of a PCN like prolonged hospital stay, pain, fever. One such modification was tubeless PCNL (placement of only a double J stent & no PCN).We offer totally tubeless PCNL to a selectedgroup of patients (wherein no PCN.
nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was described as a minimally invasive therapeutic option to treat kidney stones. With further advance-ments, PCNL has proven to be better when treating large and multiple renal stones.[11,12] However, the need for fluoroscopy, prone positioning, and general anesthesia preclude PCNL fro What is Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)? Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (per ~ through, cutaneous ~ skin, nephro ~ kidney, lithotomy - surgical removal of stone) is a surgical procedure for the removal of kidney stone(s) lodged in the renal pelvis of the kidney. PCNL is often referred to as 'keyhole' surgery because an access track is created through the skin into the kidney without. The Procedure. At the end of your surgery, your doctor places a stent in your ureter using a scope or X-ray. An adult stent is typically 22 to 30 centimeters in length, extending from your kidney to your bladder, with a coil on each end to hold the stent in place. The stent dilates your ureter to help urine pass from your kidney to your bladder
All steps of PCNL including dilatation were performed under ultrasonographic guidance. The advantage of this technique is that it is an alternative method to fluoroscopy-guided PCNL without radiation exposure to the operator and patient. Perforation of pelvicalyceal system was found in two cases with successful management with DJ stent. A 6F DJ stent (KYB, Shenzhen, China) was routinely inserted after finishing the lithotripsy, and a 16Fr nephrostomy tube was routinely placed in the end of each procedure. PCNL procedures in all groups were performed by three surgeons. First urine from the access needle and stone fragments were routinely sent for culture Patient was successfully treated with minimally invasive therapy in the form of combined bilateral PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) and ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) therapy. The purpose of reporting this case is to highlight the grave consequences of a forgotten DJ stent and to discuss the difficulties encountered during the. New Delhi for bilateral PCNL & DJ Stenting. Feedback from International Patient from Nigeria. Mr.Amine Sule, a national of Sokoto, Nigeria, came to our centre A.S Kidney hospital& stone centre pvt.ltd., New Delhi for bilateral PCNL & DJ Stenting There are various endoscopic facilities available and TURP is routinely performed.

Tubeless PCNL, with or without ureteric stent, has significantly reduced postoperative pain and hospital stay when compared with standard PCNL with nephrostomy tubes. 96-99 However, it is important that the inclusion criteria are strict in most of these studies; therefore, the recommendation for tubeless PCNL is for selected patients PCNL with the number and amount of PCNL puncture each were 1 time. DJ stents were inserted in 7 cases and nephrostomies in 32 cases at age < 65 years, whereas the age group > 65 years, DJ stent was inserted in 5 cases and nephrostomies in 22 cases. Based on operating time, both groups showed no difference in time span ranging from 90 The stone in the lower pole of your kidney can be removed by ESWL), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) or retrograde intrarenaal surgery (RIRS). I personally prefer ESWL as a first line procedure and use PCNL, if it fails. DJ stenting (a procedure to put a stent in the ureter) can cause pain but can be tolerated easily by most people The study aimed to compare tubeless, totally tubeless, and standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) in a tertiary center with selected patient population.Between September 2013 and March 2015, percutaneous nephrolithotomy was performed on 216 patients in our center. Patients without massive bleeding, calyceal perforation, and residual fragments smaller than 4 mm were enrolled in this study
PERCUTANEOUS Nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) Percutaneous nephrostomy was a procedure known since 1955 (Goodwin et al). However, it was not until 1976 when the first percutaneous nephrostomy for the specific purpose of removing a kidney stone was performed by Fernstrom and Johannson. Over the next few years, Smith and colleagues at the University of. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is presently the treatment of choice for large or multiple kidney stones or stones in the calyx. PCNL is generally safe and associated with low but indisputable complication rate. Pleural injury in PCNL is a rare but severe complication which can occur during or immediately after operation. Pleural injury may lead to chronic empyema thoracis

Third, if we cannot finish FURS within 90 minutes, a staged operation was considered. In that case, stones easier to access were preferentially fragmented and extracted as thoroughly as possible, and the rest stones were just left for next procedure After stabilisation, the patient was subjected to endoscopic removal of stones. We used a semirigid ureteroscope and a rigid nephroscope. In one sitting, right ureterorenoscopy (URS) was done followed by left URS and left percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) achieving complete clearance of both ureters and left kidney ().After 3 days, we performed right PCNL and removed left double J (DJ) stent
Mean stone size was 19.11 mm (range 10-37 mm) and mean operative time was 40.9 min (range 26-92 min). Twenty-seven renal units had upper calyceal puncture, whereas 12 had middle, 8 lower calyceal and 5 had two punctures. DJ stent was placed in 20 patients, whereas 32 patients were totally tubeless.
