研究目的
To compare Regular and Moses modes of holmium laser lithotripsy during ureteroscopy in terms of fragmentation/pulverization and procedural times in addition to perioperative complications.
研究成果
Moses technology was associated with significantly lower fragmentation/pulverization and procedural times. The reduced fragmentation/pulverization time could be explained by significantly lower retropulsion of stones.
研究不足
1. Only compared between Moses technology and short pulse of Holmium laser for the Regular mode. The long pulse of Regular mode was not studied. 2. A mix of stone fragmentation and pulverization was used during this study. 3. This study was performed at a single tertiary care centre.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A prospective double‐blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted for patients undergoing retrograde ureteroscopy and holmium laser lithotripsy. Patients were randomly assigned to either Regular or Moses modes.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Patients undergoing holmium laser lithotripsy between February 2017 and December 2018 were included. Demographic data, stone parameters, peri‐operative complications, and success rates were collected.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Lumenis 120W generator with 200 Moses D/F/L fibers were used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The degree of stone retropulsion was graded on a Likert scale. Procedural time and fragmentation/pulverization time were measured.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data was analyzed using SPSS software version 21. Differences between groups were compared using Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables and Student’s t‐test or Mann Whitney‐U test for continuous variables.
