Abstract:

 Introduction: Complications frequently related to percutaneous renal surgery include renal hemorrhage, perforation of the collecting system, urinary tract infection, and injury to adjacent organs. Renal hemorrhage is the most common and worrisome complication after PCNL. In an effort to reduce postoperative hemorrhage after completion of percutaneous renal surgery, we cauterized the bleeding points over the access tract.Material & Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out on the 85 patients who underwent PCNL between March 2015 and March 2016 in Jahrom Peymanie hospital using census sampling method. Electro cauterization of bleeding points after operation was performed for the participants. Patient’s data was collected with a research made questionnaire including clinical and diagnosis characteristics. Data was recorded by Statistics Software (SPSS, Edition14) using chi-square test and Student’s t-test.Results: From 85 patients 58 patients (68.2%) were male and 27 patients (31.8%) were female. The patients age ranged from 20 to 82 years old. The stone size range was from 10 to 35mm. 15 patients had stones located in upper pole, 20 patients had stones located in pelvis and midpole of the kidney, 13 patients had stones located in the lower pole and 37 patients had multiple staghorn stone. The mean hemoglobin (Hb) concentration before operation was 14±0.5 mg/dL while it was 14±0.2 mg/dL after operation. There was no statistically significant correlation between hemoglobin level before and after operation (P>0.05).Conclusion: Electro cauterization of bleeding points with an electrode probe after percutaneous surgery decreased morbidity. It is an effective and safe procedure and should be considered an option in percutaneous renal surgery.
