  • Guy's Stone Score (GSS) Based on Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP) Findings Predicting Upper Pole Access Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) Outcomes.
    Advances in urology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Bannakij Lojanapiwat, Pattara Rod-ong, Pruit Kitirattrakarn, Wilaiwan Chongruksut
    Abstract:

    Objective. To predict the success rate and complications following percutaneous nephrolithotomy via the upper pole using the Guy’s Stone Score (GSS) based on the findings of a preoperative Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP). Patients and Methods. Two hundred and twenty-seven renal operations, which were carried out using PCNL via the upper pole, were classified according to the GSS assigned. Any complications were classified according to the Clavien classification. The success rates and incidence of any complications were compared between each GSS. Results. The immediate success rates were 87.50% of GSS1, 71.43% of GSS2, 53.62% of GSS3, and 38.46% of GSS4, . There were statistically significant differences between the groups in stone size, overall immediate success rate, operative time, number of access tracts, and frequency of tubeless PCNL. Major complications (a Clavien score of 3–5) were significantly higher in the cases with a higher GSS. Conclusion. A GSS based on an IVP is a simple and reliable tool in predicting the success rate and possible complications following upper pole access PCNL.

  • urinary tract involvement in eec syndrome a clinical study in 25 brazilian patients
    American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1992
    Co-Authors: Aguinaldo C Nardi, Luis Alberto Magna, E S O Rodini, Ubirajara Ferreira, Nelson Rodrigues Netto, Antonio Richiericosta
    Abstract:

    We have evaluated 25 patients (14 isolated and 11 familial cases) with the EEC syndrome for genitourinary (GU) tract anomalies through Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP), voiding urethrocystography, and sonographic examination. Fifty-two percent of the patients (7 isolated and 6 familial cases) had involvement of the urinary tract, with no significant difference between isolated and familial cases. The present data seem to reflect the best estimate of the prevalence of genitourinary anomalies in patients with the EEC syndrome. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

  • Comparison of Non-contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography and Intravenous Pyelogram for Detection of Patients With Urinary Calculi.
    Korean journal of urology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Go San Lim, Seok Heun Jang, Jeong Hwan Son, Jae Won Lee, Jae Seung Hwang, Chae Hong Lim, Dae Ji Kim, Dae Sung Cho
    Abstract:

    Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the changing pattern in the use of Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP), conventional computed tomography (CT), and non–contrast-enhanced computed tomography (NECT) for evaluation of patients with acute flank pain. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 2,180 patients with acute flank pain who had visited Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital between January 2008 and December 2012 and analyzed the use of IVP, conventional CT, and NECT for these patients. Results: During the study period there was a significant increase in NECT use (p＜0.001) and a significant decrease in IVP use (p＜0.001). Conventional CT use was also increased significantly (p=0.001). During this time the proportion of patients with acute flank pain who were diagnosed with urinary calculi did not change significantly (p=0.971). Conclusions: There was a great shift in the use of imaging study from IVP to NECT between 2008 and 2012 for patients with acute flank pain.
