We assessed IRPs during each step of the PCNL procedure, comparing 24F PCNL to s-mPCNL and ns-mPCNL. METHODS: Patients were randomized into 3 groups: s-mPCNL with single-step dilator (ClearPetra™, 18F, n=10), ns-mPCNL with metallic dilator and sheath (Storz MIP-M, 17.5F, n=10), or 24F PTFE with balloon dilator (Nephromax, n=10). IRP was measured with a 0.014" COMET™II Pressure Guidewire (Boston Scientific©) retrograde positioned in the renal pelvis. Gravity irrigation was utilized. Pressure data captured include baseline IRPs, retrograde pyelogram (RPG), needle entry, fascial dilation, tract dilation, sheath insertion, nephroscopy, and lithotripsy. Primary outcomes were differences in mean and peak IRP (p-IRP) during each stage. Categorical data was compared using Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests. Continuous variables were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U-tests. RESULTS: 30 patients were randomized (Table 1). Peak and mean IRPs (mmHg) were similar during baseline, RPG, needle insertion, and fascial dilation in all 3 groups (Figure 1). During tract dilation and sheath placement, 24F sheath placement generated significantly lower p-IRP compared to s-mPCNL and ns-mPCNL groups. (dilation: 6.93 vs 36.6 and 38.6, p40 mmHg was transient for all patients and occurred when the nephroscope was placed in a narrow infundibulum. CONCLUSIONS: Highest IRPs are generated during RPG. 24F balloon dilation generates lower p-IRP compared to co-axial dilation. Compared to 24F and s-mPCNL, ns-mPCNL have higher p-IRP during nephroscopy. Further research assessing the link of IRP to postop pain, sepsis, and renal injury is needed.
