Perkütan Nefrolitotomi Ameliyatında Taşsızlığın İntraoperatif Değerlendirilmesi: Cerrahın Gözü

Amaç: Perkütan nefrolitotomi (PNL) uygulanan hastalarda cerrahın intraoperatif taşsızlık kanısının doğruluğunu, bunu etkileyen faktörleri, yanlış tahminine sebep olan prediktörleri saptamak ve sonuç olarak “cerrah gözü” ‘nün güvenilirliğini değerlendirmek amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: PNL uygulanan ve dahil etme kriterlerine uyan 1025 hastanın verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Çalışmamızın temeli cerrahın taşşsızlığı değerlendirmesi üzerine olması sebebiyle, cerrahın intraoperatif rezidü taş (RT) kalmadığı kanaatini belirttiği ancak postoperatif bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntülemede RT olan ve olmayan hasta grupları değişkenlere göre karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Cerrah gözü‘nün sensitivitesi %67,87, spesifitesi %96,23, pozitif prediktif değeri %91,67 ve negatif prediktif değeri %83,04 bulundu. Çalışmamızda “cerrahın gözü” ‘nün %16,9 oranında yanlış taşsızlık tahmin ettiği saptandı. Her iki grup arasında cinsiyet, taşın tarafı, taşın yoğunluğu ve hemoglobin düşüşü arasında istatistiksel anlamlı ilişki saptanmadı. Taş boyutu, operasyon süresi, floroskopi süresi, taşın konumu, kaliks taşlarının sayısı ve GUY’s nefrolitometri skoru (GSS) cerrahın gözü ile istatistiksel anlamlı ilişkili saptandı. Cerrahın gözü ile istatistiksel anlamlı ilişki saptanan parametrelerin çok değişkenli (multivariate) lojistik regresyon analizi sonucunda sırasıyla taş boyutu, kaliks taşlarının sayısı ve GSS anlamlı prediktörler olarak bulundu. Sonuç: PNL’ de “cerrah gözü” nün en önemli prediktörleri taş boyutu, kaliks taş sayısı ve GSS idi. Bu prediktörler taşsızlık öngörülen hastaların postoperatif görüntülemelerinde, radyasyon maruziyetini azaltacak yöntemlerin kullanılmasında etkili bir kriter olarak kullanılabilir.

Intraoperative Assessment of Stone Free Status for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Surgery: Surgeon’s Eye

Objective: In patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL),it was aimed to determine the accuracy of the surgeon’s intraoperative stone-free status (SFS) prediction, the factors affecting it, the predictors that cause incorrect estimation, and finally to evaluate the reliability of the “surgeon’s eye”. Material and Methods: The data of 1025 patients who underwent PNL and met the inclusion criteria were evaluated retrospectively. Since the basis of our study was based on the evaluation of the surgeon’s stone-free prediction, patients identified as “absence of residual stone fragment (RF)” by the surgeon were grouped and compared with postoperative computed tomography imaging according to the presence of RF. Results: Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated as 67.87%, 96.23%, 91.67% and 83.04%, respectively. In our study, it was found that the “surgeon’s eye” predicted SFS incorrectly at a rate of 16.9%. There was no statistically significant relationship between gender,- stone side,stone density and hemoglobin decrease between the two groups. Stone size,operation time, fluoroscopy time, location of the stone,number of stones in the calyces and GUY’s stone score (GSS) were found to be statistically significant in relation to the “surgeon’s eye”. As a result of multivariate logistic regression analysis stone size, number of stones in the calyces and GSS were significant predictors of the parameters that had a statistically significant relationship with the surgeon’s eye. Conclusion: The most important determinants of “surgeon’s eye” in PNL were stone size,number of stones in the calyces and GSS. These predictors can be used as an effective criterion in the use of methods to reduce radiation exposure in postoperative imaging of patients who are predicted to be stone-free.
