Mp45-17 Review of the Safety of Sterile Water Compared to Normal Saline as Irrigation Solution in Ureteroscopy

You have accessJournal of UrologyStone Disease: Epidemiology NS=26%; p=0.075), hospital re-admission (SW=21%; NS=24%; p=0.36) or mortality (SW=1.3%; NS=1.9%; p=0.51) between groups. There were no significant differences between groups in the 30-day post-URS rates of serum abnormalities (Na p=0.67, K p=0.71, Cl p=0.92, Hgb p=0.30) amongst patients who had normal pre-operative values. CONCLUSIONS: At a high-volume tertiary care center, there were no significant differences in the rates of the complications studied between SW and NS irrigation types. SW irrigation emerges as a safe option for URS, offering the potential for enhanced visualization compared to NS, and, as such, can be considered the standard irrigation solution for URS.
