Evaluation and Comparison of S.T.O.N.E. and GUY's Scoring Systems for
Predicting Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Outcomes in Supine Position
Abstract
Abstract Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was applied in the prone
position. But also, in recent years supine positions was applied in
patients with kidney stones. Predicting how much renal stones can be
cleared after surgery and possibility of complications is an important
question for both surgeons and patients. Therefor different scoring
systems are used to predict stone-free and complication rates before
surgery. Patients and Methods: Between 2018 and 2920, 80 patients with
renal stone who underwent PCNL in the supine position were evaluated
preoperatively by S.T.O.N.E. and Guy’s scoring systems. The predictions
of both scoring systems for stone-free and complication rates in
patients who underwent PCNL in the supine position were evaluated. Also,
these scoring systems were compared among themselves for reliability.
Result: In both scoring systems, there was a statistically significant
difference between postoperative stone-free (SF) and residual stone (RS)
patients and in predicting the likelihood of complications in patients.
No statistically significant difference was found between the two
scoring systems in predicting the stone-free rate. Conclusion: Our
findings revealed that S.T.O.N.E. nephrolithometri and Guy’s score
systems can be used effectively to predict stone-free rate,
complications and operation duration in supine position PCNL for renal
stones.
