Abstract

Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of RIRS in patients over 65 years of age.

Materials and Methods: 107 patients over 65 who underwent RIRC in our clinic were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups, according to whether there were complications (Group: No complications, Group 2: There are complications) and according to age (Group 1: 65-74 years, Group 2: 75 years and above). The groups were compared with each other regarding stone-free rate, complication rate, stone characteristics, and hospital stay.

Results: When divided into groups according to age, no difference was observed between group 1 (65-74 years old) and group 2 (75 years and older) in terms of American Society of Anesthesiogists score, stone size, number of stones, and Hounsfield unit of the stone. On the other hand, it was observed that the hospital stay and complication rate of group 2 were higher than group 1. (p-value 0.01 and 0.02, respectively). The patients were divided into two groups according to whether there were complications. There was no significant difference in ASA score, Hounsfield unit of stone, and stone-free rate between group 1 (without complications) and group 2 (with complications). (p-value respectively: 0.127, 0.915, 0.379 )

Conclusion: With the increasing elderly population in the world, more elderly patients with kidney stones will apply for treatment. Therefore, as in our study, RIRS can be widely used in treating kidney stones in elderly patients in terms of efficacy and safety.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada 65 yaş üstü hastalarda RIRS'ın etkinlik ve güvenliğini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.

Materyal ve Metod: Kliniğimizde RIRC yapılan 65 yaş üstü 107 hasta retrospektif değerlendirildi. Hastalar hem komplikasyon olup olmasına göre (Grup:1 Komplikasyon yok, Grup 2: Komplikasyon var ) hem de yaşa göre iki gruba (Grup 1:65-74 yaş, Grup 2: 75 yaş ve üzeri) ayrıldı. Taşsızlık oranı, komplikasyon oranı, taş özellikleri, hastanede kalış süreleri açısından gruplar birbirleriyle karşılaştırıldı.

Bulgular: Yaşa göre gruplara ayrıldığında grup (65-74 yaş) grup 2 (75 yaş ve üzeri ) arasında American Society of Anesthesiogists skoru, taş boyutu, taş sayısı ve taşın hounsfield ünitesi açısından fark gözlenmedi. Diğer yandan grup 2'nin hastanede kalış süresi ve komplikasyon oranının grup 1'e göre daha fazla olduğu gözlendi. (sırasıyla p değeri 0,01 ve 0,02) Hastalar komplikasyon görülme durumuna göre iki gruba ayrıldı. Grup1 (komplikasyon olmayan) ve grup 2 (komplikasyon olan) arasında ASA skoru, taşın hounsfield ünitesi ve taşsızlık oranında anlamlı fark saptanmadı. (sırasıyla p değeri: 0.127, 0.915, 0.379 )

Sonuç: Yaşlı nüfusun dünyada giderek artmasıyla böbrek taşı olan daha çok yaşlı hasta tedavi için başvuracaktır. Bu nedenle çalışmamız sonucunda olduğu gibi RIRS yaşlı hastalarda böbrek taşı tedavisinde etkinlik ve güvenlik açısından yaygın şekilde kullanılabilir.
