Assessment of the Effects of Access Count in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy on Renal Functions by Technetium-99m-Dimercaptosuccinic Acid Scintigraphy

Abstract: Objective. To determine the effects of percutaneous nephrolithotomy on renal functions by using DMSA scintigraphy while considering access counts. Material and Methods. A total of 37 patients who had undergone percutaneous nephrolithotomy were included. Preoperative DMSA scans were performed a day before the surgery, whereas postoperative scans were randomized by evaluating them before (n = 25) and after (n = 12) the 6th postoperative month. Twenty-six of 37 cases underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy with a … Show more

“…However, it has been reported that during the 10-month follow-up period, two techniques can cause almost equal damage [14]. In another study, it was reported that percutaneous single and multiple access had similar effects on renal function [15]. Although the literature shows the negative effects of obstruction on renal function, there is inadequate data on the functional effects of RIRS and URS procedures.…”

“…Bayrak et al [ 21 ] also showed decreased renal function in the early period after PNL, but renal function was not affected by the number of access sites. Even though Demirtas et al [ 22 ] reported preserved renal function as assessed by DMSA after PNL, the study showed significantly decreased differential renal function on the treated side in the early and late postoperative periods and showed insignificant change on the nontreated side in the late postoperative period. In other reports, in which renal function after ESWL and PNL was evaluated with DMSA, there were no significant changes after ESWL but a significant change after PNL [ 23 ].…”

“…Renal functions may be more stable in the lateterm evaluation because early-term evaluation may be influenced by many postoperative metabolic factors. Demirtas et al revealed that the kidney functions decreased in the very early hours after surgery then recovered in the late-term follow-up [17]. Reeves et al reported that kidney functions for all CKD group patients improve in long term follow-ups; however increase in CKD group II, IIIa and IIIb patients were statistically significant, but others were not [18].…”
