Cutting for stone in augmented bladders: What is the risk of recurrence and is it impacted by treatment modality?

Misseri R, Szymanski KM, Whittam B, Amstutz S, Kaefer M, Rink RC, Cain MP.AbstractINTRODUCTION: Bladder stones are common after bladder augmentation, often resulting in numerous procedures for recurrence. We sought to determine whether surgical technique and stone fragmentation were significant predictors of bladder stone recurrence after augmentation.

Does baseline radiography of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder help facilitate stone management in patients presenting to the emergency department with renal colic?

Foell K, Ordon M, Ghiculete D, Lee JY, Honey RJ, Pace KT.Author information Department of Urology, St. Michael's Hospital, University of Toronto , Toronto, Ontario, Canada .AbstractAbstract Background and Purpose: A baseline kidneys, ureters, and bladder (KUB) radiograph, at the time of computed tomography (CT) for ureteral stones, might aid interpretation of future KUBs. The CT scout radiograph might render the baseline KUB redundant, however. We sought to assess the diagnostic utility of baseline KUB for patients with ureteral stones. Patients and Methods: Patients with ureteral stones were retrospectively identified. All had a baseline KUB in addition to CT and were reassessed after 4 to 60 days with KUB. Each patient's imaging was randomized 1:1 into either "KUB&CT" or "CT" groups. Three urologists independently assessed the imaging: CT (with scout film) and baseline KUB in the KUB&CT group, but only the CT (not KUB) in the CT group. Definitive stone assessment on follow-up KUB was defined as all three reviewers answering either Yes or No (not Indeterminate) to the question of stone passage or migration. Results: Of 154 stones, the mean diameter was 4.8±2.1 mm, density was 914±300 Hounsfield units (HU), with 54.4% in the distal ureter. Stone visibility was 60.4% on KUB vs 43.5% on scout film (P<0.001). Scout film visibility favored the CT group (52.7 vs 35.0%, P=0.027). After adjusting for body mass index, skin-to-stone distance, size, density, and location, definitive assessment rates were higher in the KUB&CT group (P=0.047). When reviewers reassessed the CT group using the baseline KUB, they were able to do so definitively in an additional 16 (21.6%, P<0.001). Definitive assessments were associated with higher rates of stone visibility on scout film (86.1 vs 21.1%, P<0.001), KUB (86.1 vs 50.0%, P<0.001), and larger (6.0 vs 3.7 mm, P<0.001), denser stones (1046 vs 802 HU, P<0.001). Conclusions: The addition of a baseline KUB to the CT scout film improves the ability of urologists to determine stone outcome when following patients with KUB imaging and might reduce the subsequent need for additional imaging.

Radiation exposure in urology: a genitourinary catalogue for diagnostic imaging.

Neisius A, Wang AJ, Wang C, Nguyen G, Tsivian M, Kuntz NJ, Astroza GM, Lowry C, Toncheva G, Yoshizumi TT, Preminger GM, Ferrandino MN, Lipkin ME.Author information Division of Urologic Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina; Department of Urology, Universitätsmedizin Mainz, Mainz, Germany.AbstractPURPOSE: Computerized tomography use increased exponentially in the last 3 decades, and it is commonly used to evaluate many urological conditions. Ionizing radiation exposure from medical imaging is linked to the risk of malignancy. We measured the organ and calculated effective doses of different studies to determine whether the dose-length product method is an accurate estimation of radiation exposure.
