Abstract:Objective To study the influence of endoscopic holmium: YAG laser lithotripsy (HLL) on the operation effect and inflammatory factors and oxidative stress indexes of ureteral calculi. Methods The subjects were 86 patients with ureteral calculi in our hospital from October 2015 to February 2017, they were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, each group had 43 cases. The control group received pneumatic lithotripsy (PL) treatment, and the observation group was treated with HLL. The operation time, hospitalization time, immediate stone clearance rate, 1-month stone clearance rate and hematuria disappearance time and incidences of complications were compared between the two groups, and the changes of the oxidative stress indexes, inflammatory factors and renal function indexes were also compared between the two groups. Results The operation time, hospitalization time and hematuria disappearance time in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The immediate stone clearance rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The postoperative serum Cor, MDA, GSHpx, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, Scr and BUN levels of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05), the serum level of SOD was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The total incidence of complications of the two groups had no significant difference (P > 0.05). Conclusions HLL treatment has the advantages of high stone expulsion rate of ureteral calculi, fast postoperative recovery and few complications, and can reduce the oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction of the operation to the body. It is worthy of clinical application.
