Background: To evaluate the efficacy of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURSL) based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS).
Methods: 435 patients with upper urinary calculi between 2017-2020 were retrospectively analysed and assigned to ERAS group (ERAS management) and control group (traditional management). Operative time, postoperative ambulation time, postoperative hospital stay, total cost of hospitalization, postoperative complications and stone removal were compared.
Results: 427 cases were successfully performed FURSL procedure with 4 cases of ERAS group (n = 216) and 4 cases of control group (n = 219) failed respectively. No postoperative complications occurred in either group except for fever and hematuria. There were no significant difference in postoperative fever and stone removal between the two groups (all p > 0.05). The patients in ERAS group had shorter operative time, shorter postoperative ambulation time, less postoperative severe hematuria, shorter postoperative hospital stay and lower total cost of hospitalization than those in control group (all p < 0.05).
Conclusions: FURSL based on the concept of ERAS for the treatment of upper urinary tract calculi is safe and reliable, with rapid postoperative recovery, low cost of hospitalization and worthy of clinical promotion.
