Abstract
Introduction and Objectives

We aimed to point out the ureteral access facility and obstruction removal efficiency of mini-URS in the use of proximal ureteral stone management in children under five-year-old.

Patients

We retrospectively reviewed the data of 26 children who underwent mini-URS-LL for obstructive stones in proximal ureter between January 2016 and August 2018. The effectiveness of the mini-URS-LL was assessed based on the feasibility, reliability, and success of the technique.

Results

Mean age was 3 ± 1.3 years, and 11 (42.3%) patients were ≤2 years old, remaining 15 (57.7%) were aged 3−5 years. Mean stone size was 9.11 ± 3.02 mm. A stone-free status was obtained at the end of 31 ureteroscopic procedure in 24 (92.3%) patients. The mean age was found significantly higher in patients who had the procedure without pre-stenting than the others who did (P = .027). No perioperative complication was experienced.

Conclusion

In preschool-age children, laser lithotripsy with mini-URS may be a safe technique in the hands with advanced endo-urological skills but it has low efficacy with higher rates of prestenting causing additional anesthesia sessions.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivos

Determinar la viabilidad del acceso ureteral y la eficacia de la eliminación de la obstrucción con mini-URS en el manejo de los cálculos ureterales proximales en niños menores de cinco años.

Pacientes

Revisamos retrospectivamente los datos de 26 niños que se sometieron a mini-URS-LL por cálculos obstructivos situados en el uréter proximal entre enero de 2016 y agosto de 2018. La efectividad de mini-URS-LL se evaluó sobre la base de su viabilidad, fiabilidad y el éxito de la técnica.

Resultados

La media de edad fue de 3 ± 1,3 años. Once (42,3%) pacientes tenían ≤2 años y los 15 restantes (57,7%) tenían entre 3 y 5 años. El tamaño medio del calculo era 9,11 ± 3,02 mm. Se obtuvo un estado libre de cálculos al final de 31 procedimientos ureteroscópicos en 24 (92.3%) pacientes. Se encontró que la edad media fue significativamente más alta en los pacientes que se sometieron al procedimiento sin cateterización previa (P = ,027). No se experimentó ninguna complicación perioperatoria.

Conclusión

En niños entre 2 y 5 años, la litotricia laser con mini-URS (mini-URS-LL) puede ser un procedimiento seguro en manos de urólogos expertos en técnicas endourológicas, pero su eficacia es baja, sus tasas de cateterización previa son altas requiriendo consultas de anestesia adicionales.
