Comparative Assessment of Original vs. Standard Surgery Techniques in Treatment for Purulent Pyelonephritis

Abstract

Background. Modern minimally invasive surgical techniques reduce traumatism of operative interventions and aggressive anaesthesia, which accordingly shortens the patient’s hospital stay and rehabilitation period.Aim. An improvement of surgical outcomes in patients with purulent pyelonephritis via introduction of laparoscopic techniques.Materials and methods. Th e study included 80 purulent pyelonephritis patients operated at the Territorial Clinical Hospital during 2006—2018. Th e patients were divided between two cohorts. Cohort 1 included 40 (50 %) patients operated with standard techniques (ST), cohort 2 — 40 (50 %) patients having surgery by an original minimally invasive technique (OT). Kidney decapsulation was found to outcome in parenchymal decompression and blood circulation restore in cortical layer. Intraarterial infusion of alprostadil prevents further spread of purulent-destructive processes in kidney.Results and discussion. In patients with the minimally invasive technique, postoperative period proceeded at no complications. On day 1, the patients reported reduced pain syndrome in the surgical area. Contrasted renal MSCT before and aft er surgery showed the recovery of renal blood flow and significant diminishing of destruction foci in short term. Nephrectomy was not performed as no-indication.Conclusion. The treatment outcomes in 40 patients having the new surgical technique demonstrate its efficacy and applicability in clinical practice.
