Ureteral calculi: percutaneous removal using modified basket extractors and fluoroscopy

Two modified helical basket extractors are described that have increased the success rate of removing ureteral calculi using fluoroscopy from 63% to 92%. Initially a rather stiff and expandable basket with a 20-cm filiform tip is used with coaxial catheters and sheath (stage 1). If this procedure is unsuccessful, a basket with two long cable ends is passed from the nephrostomy out through the urethra (stage 2). When used with coaxial bladder catheters, this technique allows dilatation of the vesicoureteric junction and retrograde catheterization and injection of fluids or gas to dislodge the stone prior to extraction. In a series of 38 patients, stones were removed in all but three (a success rate of 92%). In five cases small stones (less than 5 mm) were not retrieved but subsequent studies were normal. Ureteral stones were found in the abdominal ureter in 28 cases, in the pelvic ureter in seven cases, and in multiple sites in three cases. Stones were larger than 1 cm in 27.7% of cases. Postextraction mucosal edema with reduced ureteral patency was common but usually cleared in 2-3 days. Occasional complications were related to the nephrostomy.     

Perioperative specific management of blood volume loss in craniosynostosis surgery

Accurate assessment and replacement of blood loss and fluid–electrolyte deficit during craniosynostosis repair is difficult owing to patient size and the diversity of surgical technique. Forty-three patients undergoing primary craniosynostosis repair over a 10-year period were studied retrospectively to determine blood loss and fluid deficit and to assess blood transfusion practices during both intraoperative and postoperative periods. Blood loss was calculated on the basis of estimated red cell mass (ERCM) and fluid-electrolyte imbalance was investigated with blood samplings. Blood transfusion was considered appropriate if the postoperative or posttransfusion ERCM was within 12% of the preoperative value. Estimated fluid requirement (EFR) was used in 4 ml kg^–1 h^–1 except for neonates. Intraoperatively, 80% of all patients were appropriately managed with respect to blood transfusion and EFR. Postoperatively only 20% of the patients receiving transfusions were transfused appropriately. In 23.3% of these patients (10/43) unexpected respiratory distress developed immediately after their recovery from the anesthesia. With the measurement of estimated blood volume and allowable blood loss, appropriate transfusion could be achieved for the successful treatment of the primary craniosynostosis.
