Brief Summary

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

Ureteroscopic lithotripsy (RIRS) is the first-line treatment for 1-2 cm upper urinary tract stones, and the stone clearance rate can reach 81.4% - 92.5%. Fever after RIRS is the most common infection after RIRS, and its incidence is up to 20%. The incidence rate of systemic inflammatory response syndrome is 6.5% - 10.3%, sepsis 0.1% - 4.3%, with the infection progressed. If there is no timely and effective intervention in the early stage of urogenic sepsis, it can progress to septic shock, and the mortality can be as high as 30% - 40%. High intrarenal pressure is an important risk factor for postoperative infection. American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines point out that controlling intrarenal pressure at an appropriate level is particularly important to prevent postoperative infection.

The use of ureteroscopic sheath in ureteroscopic surgery can effectively reduce the intrarenal pressure, which is an important measure to reduce the incidence of postoperative infection. Theoretically, the larger the space, the better the reflux effect and the lower the incidence of postoperative infection. The study showed that the incidence of ureteral sheath infection was significantly lower than that of ureteral sheath infection after operation. When using the same caliber ureteroscopic sheath, use a smaller caliber ureteroscopy to increase the space between the ureteroscopy and the ureteral sheath, promote reflux, reduce intrarenal pressure and reduce the incidence of postoperative infection. However, there is still a lack of relevant research on the effect of different caliber ureteroscopy in the treatment of renal calculi on postoperative infection.

Study Groups

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

Experimental: Patients in Group 0 undergo 7.5fr ultra-fine ureteroscopy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

7.5fr ultra-fine ureteroscopy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The patient placed the lithotomy position, placed the ureteroscope to explore the affected ureter, retrogradely placed the guide wire, and placed the 12 / 14fr ureteral sheath under X-ray monitoring until the affected ureter was close to the outlet of the renal pelvis. Group 1 patients used 7.5fr ultra-fine ureteroscopy

Experimental: Patients in Group 2 undergo 9.2fr ureteroscopy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

9.2fr Ureteroscopy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The patient placed the lithotomy position, placed the ureteroscope to explore the affected ureter, retrogradely placed the guide wire, and placed the 12 / 14fr ureteral sheath under X-ray monitoring until the affected ureter was close to the outlet of the renal pelvis. Group 2 patients used 9.2fr Ureteroscopy
