研究目的
Description of clinical experience with two different lithotripsy modalities for treatment of urethral stones in dogs.
研究成果
Transurethral pneumatic or laser lithotripsy of urinary stones is a successful procedure in dogs, with high stone-free rates in the urethra. However, major pathological conditions of the urethral mucosa may require additional surgical or interventional methods to restore urethral function.
研究不足
The study was not randomized, introducing potential selection bias. The sample size was limited, and the study lacked a control group. The evaluation of polypoid urethritis was based on endoscopic appearance without histological confirmation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Retrospective analysis of medical records from dogs with urinary stones that underwent transurethral pneumatic or laser lithotripsy.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Medical records from dogs treated at AniCura Tier?rztliche Klinik Bielefeld from October 2016 to November
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
20 StoneBreaker? pneumatic lithotripter, Holmium:YAG laser, rigid and flexible endoscopes, stone retrieval baskets and forceps.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Lithotripsy procedures were performed by a single operator experienced in endourology. The procedures included fragmentation of urethral stones using either pneumatic or laser energy, followed by removal of fragments.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical comparison of lithotripsy methods regarding stone fragility and fragmentation time using the Mann-Whitney U test.
