“…[ 7 ] reported 13 management modalities for ureteral stent calcification: eight that involved bladder lithotripsy, ureteroscopy (URS), and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), two that involved URS and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), two that involved bladder stone, URS, RIRS, and ESWL. According to Torricelli FC's report [ 8 ], there was a considerably higher chance of bleeding in HIV patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy for upper urinary tract stones. This encompasses not just the patient's danger, but also the risk to the health care practitioner.…”

Human immunodeficiency virus prevalence was increasing worldwide. Medication-associated urinary calculi are very commonly caused by medications used to treat HIV-positive patients. We present a case of an HIV-positive 39-year-old male with ureteral stent encrustation and kidney stone. Ureterolithotripsy using a disposable flexible ureteroscope is performed. The postoperative evolution was favorable. The disposable flexible ureteroscope is effective in the treatment of HIV combined with ureteral stent encrustation.

“…Treatment of upper urinary tract stones smaller than 2 cm with flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy is considered the criterion standard [ 1 ]. Torricelli et al [ 2 ] reported that treatment of upper urinary tract stones in HIV-positive patients with percutaneous nephrolithotripsy is associated with an increased risk of complications compared with this treatment in ordinary patients, including a significantly increased risk of bleeding. This entails not only risk to the patient but also to the health care workers.…”

Ureterolithiasis in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Patients Treated with Single-Use Ureteroscope: A Case Report

et al. 2022

Unusual clinical course Background:The number of HIV-positive patients is increasing worldwide. Such patients with upper urinary tract stones have been treated primarily with flexible ureteroscopy. Case Reports:Two patients with HIV and upper urinary tract stones were treated with a single-use digital flexible ureteroscope between July 2021 and January 2022. Both cases were treated by transurethral ureteroscope lithotripsy with a Guangzhou Redpine single-use digital flexible ureteroscope. This is also the first reported case of using a disposable ureteral flexible scope to manage a patient with upper urinary tract stones in combination with HIV. The holmium laser power was set to 0.2-0.6j/20-50 Hz for fragmentation and 1.0-1.5j/10-20 Hz for the dusting of the stones. Renal stones larger than 1 cm were dusted to around 1 cm first, and then a lithotripsy basket was used to remove them. The f5 Polaris Ultra ureteral stent was implanted during the procedure. The operations went smoothly. Four weeks after surgery, CT scans revealed a 4 mm stone remnant in one case, and the ureteral stent was removed in both cases. After 3 months, a kidney, ureter, and bladder X-ray revealed no stones remaining in the case that had earlier shown a 4 mm stone residual. In both cases, the stone composition was made up of calcium oxalate monohydrate and calcium oxalate dihydrate stones. Conclusions:A single-use flexible ureteroscope has a proven clinical benefit in treating HIV-combined upper urinary tract stones. After the operations, there were no urinary infections, bleeding, or other complications in either patient.
