ABSTRACT
Introduction: The procedures opened for the handling of the renal calculi reserve for cases with anatomical
variables of the patient and the renal unit who diminish the effectiveness of the surgery of minimum invasion. The
use of flexible ureteroscopy + laser lithotripsy apparently offers a resolution of the renal calculi in 87% of the
cases.
Objective: To determine the effectiveness and the incidence of complications of flexible ureteroscopy +
laser lithotripsy for the resolution of smaller renal calculi of 1.5 cm.
Material and methods: We carried out
clinical, longitudinal, observational and descriptive a study. From September of 2006 to August of 2007 34
patients with renal calculi smaller to 15 mm submissive flexible ureteroscopy + laser lithotripsy. The effectiveness
for renal calculi in any pielocalicial location ≤ 15 mm was of 85.3%. The treatment success was observed in
patients with infundibulopelvic angle open, of 79.6
o vs. 70
o (p = 0.043) and with short infundibular length, of 28.9
vs. 36.4 mm (p = 0.017). Only there was a patient (2.9%) with ureteral perforation at level of superior third that
was solved with positioning of catheter double J by two weeks.
Conclusions: Flexible ureteroscopy + laser
lithotripsy showed to have a suitable effectiveness for the handling of the renal calculi smaller to 15 mm with a
low rate of complications
