Diagnosis
8
Differential Diagnosis Musculoskeletal Appendicitis Cholecystitis Diverticulitis Testicular torsion Gynaecological problems Leaking aortic aneurysm >60 years Pyelopnephritis
9
That’s an easy diagnosis!
10
LUTS Storage * Frequency - dysuria * Nocturia * Urgency * Urge incontinence * Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
11
Which of these is haematuria?
12
Who forms stones? People who live in warm climate People who work in warm climate Obese Metabolic disorders Previous stone formers 30-40% Those who drink less – so produce less urine -1L vs >2L
13
Risks Lifetime Risk 12% Male 6% Female Peak 40-60 yrs 3/1000 per year Seasonal variation
14
Urinary Tract Stones 90% radio-opaque (except urate & cystine) Male - usually metabolic Female - may be associated with infection CUPOX
15
Management Absolute indications for emergency referral to A&E Unsure about diagnosis Poor pain control Significant fever >37.5 C with renal pain Single kidney/transplanted kidney/ poor renal function/bilateral stones Delay in investigation or urology referral Travel / Occupation
16
Investigate and Treat in community Usually recurrent stone formers Urine dipstick and MSU Heamaturia Rule out UTI Blood Tests U&E/FBC ? S Ca, Uric Acid
17
Treat in community Pain Relief NSAID – Diclofenac Opiods – Not Pethidine as associated with higher incidence of vomiting
18
Medical Expulsive Therapy MET or Expectant managament Alpha blockers – Tamsulosin Side effects Warning for females in child bearing age Nifedipine
19
Imaging Which Non Contrast CT Scan KUB and USS How soon Within a week See Urologist within 2 weeks How often
23
Which stones will pass and how soon ? < 5mm – 80% will pass, specially in lower ureter 5-10 mm depends on location - 47% > 10 mm unlikely to pass spontaneously Six weeks is a reasonable time for stones to pass, if still there requires intervention/ expert care
24
AUA /EAU Ureteral Stone Guidelines Panel

26
Management Absolute indications for emergency referral to A&E or Urology Department Poor pain control Significant fever >37.5 C with renal pain Delay in urology referral Non progression of stone

Ureteroscopic Stone Fragmentation
31
Flexible Ureterorenoscope Allows intrarenal visualisation, biopsies and stone fragmentation
32
Flexible ureterorenoscope to renal pelvis
33
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
38
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) Now Storz Modulith electromagnetic membrane no GA mobile
39
Percutaneous Renal Stone Surgery Make a track via loinInspect, fragment and remove stone pieces
40
PCNL: Disadvantages compared to open surgery staged procedures often required increased level of endoscopic skill learning curve complications (rare) = catastrophic expen££e (capital for equipment, video, laser, special scopes, etc)
41
Laparoscopy/ Robotic Larger Stones >15 mm Failed URS / ESWL
42
Prevention Fluid intake or monitoring urine output Dietary advice
