摘要

Objectives: Larger ureteral access sheaths (UASs) have the potential to improve ureteroscopic stone removal outcomes but are often avoided by surgeons because of concerns of ureteral injury. Using our novel UAS force sensor and previously defined force thresholds for ureteral injury, we sought to evaluate the impact of 1 week of stenting on the maximum safe dilation of ureteral luminal circumference. Methods: Twelve juvenile female Yorkshire pigs (24 ureters) were evaluated. The inner (i.e., luminal) circumference of each ureter was determined using Cook urethral dilators ranging from 8F to 24F in 2F increments, 37 cm in length. Each dilator was sequentially passed while applying the UAS force sensor to measure insertion force before and after 1 week of stent placement. Each ureter was randomized to receive either a 4.7F or 7.0F stent (20 cm). Maximum ureteral luminal circumference was defined as effective passage of the dilator to the ureteropelvic junction with ≤6 newtons (N) of force (the force threshold previously defined by porcine and clinical studies to avoid ureteral damage). After passage of the largest dilator at 6 N, flexible ureteroscopy was performed and a post-ureteroscopic lesion scale (PULS) was recorded. Results: After 1 week of stent placement, the median ureteral luminal circumference increased to 15F representing a mean increase of 3.8F ± 2.8F (p < 0.001). Twenty-one (88%) of the pre-stented ureters had an increase in luminal circumference, with 12 ureters (50%) dilated to ≥16F (p = 0.032), 6 ureters (25%) dilated to ≥18F, and in 2 cases a maximum size of 24F was recorded. The PULS grade was ≤2 in all cases, indicating no high-grade ureteral injuries. Laterality and stent size did not impact ureteral luminal circumference after pre-stenting (p = 0.232 and p = 0.337, respectively). Conclusions: One week of ureteral stenting resulted in nearly a 4F increase in the luminal circumference of porcine ureters.
