Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has been considered as the first-line choice for the management of \<20mm kidney stones. Insertion of a ureteral access sheath (UAS) before RIRS surgery is currently accepted as an effective method to improve the effectiveness of surgery, but can be accompanied by serious complications. In long-term clinical practice, the investigators has found that different Bladder Filling Degree was accompanied by different Resistance During UAS Insertion Procedure in RIRS, which leads to the difference in success rate of UAS insertion.The investigator aims to perform a prospective and randomized controlled trial comparing the success rate of UAS insertion procedure under different bladder filling degree,and discuss the relationship between insertion resistance and ureter injury.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Upper urinary calculi is a common disease that endangers human health, Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has been considered as the first-line choice for the management of \<20mm kidney stones. Insertion of a ureteral access sheath (UAS) before RIRS surgery is currently accepted as an effective method to improve the effectiveness of surgery, for UAS can drain irrigation to reduce renal pelvic pressure and maintain vision clear. But incorrect way to insert UAS can be accompanied by serious complications. For instance, If the ureter was not dilated by DJ stent before RIRS surgery, or ureter was relatively narrow, the insertion of UAS would encounter great resistance. Sometimes the ureter was violently pushed into UAS, it might cause ureteral perforation or avulsion. As for how to insert UAS correctly, there is no unified international standard at present. Different surgeons have different experience. In long-term clinical practice, the investigators has found that different Bladder Filling Degree was accompanied by different Resistance During UAS Insertion Procedure in RIRS, which leads to the difference in success rate of UAS insertion. In addition, there seems to be some relationship between the resistance of UAS insertion and the ureter injury in surgery. Therefore, the investigator aims to perform a prospective and randomized controlled trial comparing the success rate of UAS insertion procedure under different bladder filling degree, and discuss the relationship between insertion resistance and ureter injury.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1: empty bladder

In group 1, investigator empty the bladder of urine with a catheter before inserting UAS.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

empty bladder before inserting UAS

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

In group 1, investigator empty the bladder of urine with a catheter before inserting UAS, so that we can see if the empty bladder is easier for inserting UAS.

Group 2: natural state of bladder

In group 2, investigator does not interfere with the filling degree of bladder before inserting UAS.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

do not interfere with the filling degree of bladder

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

In group 2, investigator does not interfere with the filling degree of bladder before inserting UAS, so that we can see if the filling degree of bladder has impact on the insertion of UAS.
