PG - 1871-1876 LID - 10.1007/s00345-018-2328-1 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To evaluate the influence of overnight ureteral catheterization and determine if routine long-term post-stenting can be avoided in flexible ureterorenoscopy (fURS) procedure for kidney stone. METHODS: Three hundred ninety-three patients who underwent single fURS for kidney stone between January 2013 and June 2016 at a single institute were retrospectively analyzed. The stone-free (SF) and perioperative complication rates in patients with routine long-term post-stenting after fURS (long-term stent group) were compared with those of patients with overnight ureteral catheterization (short-term stent group). Propensity score-matching analysis was used to adjust the difference in baseline preoperative parameters between the two groups. All preoperative parameters were chosen to develop the propensity score, and 74 patients in the short-term stent group were retrospectively matched with the patients in the long-term stent group at a 1:1 ratio. RESULTS: Patient characteristics included age, sex, side of involvement, height, body weight, body mass index, number of stone(s), stone volume, Hounsfield units of stone, preoperative white blood cell count, preoperative C-reactive protein, preoperative creatinine, pretreatment, pre-stenting, stenosis of the ureter, and procedure duration. The SF rates were 91.9 and 93.2% in the short-term and long-term stent groups, respectively. Perioperative complications were 14.9 and 12.2%. No difference was noted between the two groups in terms of SF and perioperative complication rates. CONCLUSIONS: Short-term post-stenting using overnight ureteral catheterization in uncomplicated cases after fURS for kidney stone was as effective as conventional long-term post-stenting in reducing postoperative complications. These preliminary data suggest the possibility that routine long-term post-stenting was unnecessary.
