Purpose: To assess the safety of outpatient extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the management of patients with renal and ureteral stones.
Materials and Methods: Between February 2012 and November 2014, 844 outpatients were treated with Outpatient ESWL at Taipei Veterans General Hospital. 22 patients visited emergency department (ED) within 48 hours. Stone size, stone shape (long to short axis ratio), location, total pulse of shockwaves, stone management and urine analysis data and date before ESWL, complications and treatment at ER and admission rate was investigated. Chi-Square and Logistic Regression analyses were used, with p<0.05 set as the level of significance.
Results: Of the 844 initial consecutive patients who underwent ESWL, 1095 times of ESWL was performed totally. There were 22(2%) patients visited ED within 48 hours after ESWL. Mean Age was 54.3±12.6 years old; BMI was 25.9±3.2; pre-ESWL Cr was 0.89±2.54 mg/ml; post-ESWL Cr was 1.04±0.23 mg/ml; stone height/width ratio was 1.80±0.57. The mean renal stone size was 12.2±5.9 mm;. The mean ureteral stone size was 6.1±0.2 mm. 8 (8/379=2.1%) patients had right side stone, 14 (14/465=3.0%) patients had left side stones. 16 patients received ESWL for renal stone, 5 patients for ureter stone and 1 patient for both. The most common complication was flank pain include 16 patients (72.7%). Other complication includes hematuria (5 patients, all from renal stone), fever (4 patients, all from renal stone), acute urinary retention and nausea with vomiting (1 patient each). There were 12 patient received EWSL, PCNL, or URSL before. In 22 patient back to ER, 7 patients admitted to ward and 1 patient back to ER twice continuously. All patients received medical treatment without ESWL or surgical management.
Conclusions: The 48 hours Emergency Department Visiting rate was 2%. There was no severe morbidity or mortality case. The tendency risk factors according to our study include renal stone, large stone height/width ratio, pre-ESWL stone management. The conclusion showed the outpatient ESWL is safe for treating renal and ureteral stones.
