Abstract

Introduction: Renal lithiasis is a public health problem with difficult solution. International Urology societies recommend the use of extracorporeal lithotripsy with shock waves as the first line in the management of lithiasis smaller than 2 cm in medium, upper calyxes and renal pelvis.

Objective: Show the results of extracorporeal lithotripsy in patients with renal lithiasis.

Methods: A prospective longitudinal study of a descriptive nature was carried out in 62 patients with renal lithiasis treated by extracorporeal lithotripsy from 2017 to 2020 at "Dr. Carlos J. Finlay" Central Military Hospital. The incidence rate of the physical-chemical composition of lithiasis on fragmentation was estimated in a binary logistic regression model, considering p < 0.05.

Results: The average age was 39.8 years, predominantly in the male sex. The most common metabolic disorder was hyperoxaluria and a good fragmentation prevailed. The composition of calcium oxalate predominated, more than 90% of patients were free of lithiasis and the most common complications were grade I and II according to the Clavein-Dindo classification. Calcium oxalate and phosphate were risk factors for poor fragmentation in patients with persistence of post-lithotric lithiasis.

Conclusions: Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy is an effective alternative in patients with nephrolithiasis. A low complication rate is equal as long as the patient selection criteria and pre-lithiasis and post-lithotric care are correctly applied.
