Brief summary

A prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of non-indwelling catheter and indwelling catheter in relieving postoperative catheter-related complications after ureteroscopic lithotripsy. By comparing the pain score and urination urgency score (PPIUS) of patients after ureteroscopic lithotripsy (including flexible ureteroscopy) lithotripsy to provide a reliable scientific basis for indwelling catheter after ureteroscopic lithotripsy.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients with upper urinary tract calculi undergoing rigid ureteroscopic and soft ureteroscopic lithotripsy; * Normal renal function; * Aged between 18 and 70 years old * Complete the operation under general anesthesia

Exclusion criteria

* Solitary kidney; * Previous history of renal transplantation or urinary diversion; * Congenital malformation of urinary system; * Abnormal coagulation mechanism due to blood system diseases, liver diseases, etc. * Severe heart or lung disease, Malignant tumor and immunodeficiency state * Urethral stricture * Neurogenic bladder * Operation under epidural anesthesia or spinal anesthesia * Large amount of bleeding during operation should be observed by indwelling catheter to observe urine color * High risk factors such as large amount of pus fur should be observed during operation. * Urethral injury during operation leads to false passage * Operation time is more than 90 minutes. Higher risk of bleeding or infection

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain score4 hours after surgery and 2 hours after catheter removal (same time points for non-indwelling catheters)pain scoring will be measured by VAS scale. There are 10 scales, with 0 and 10 at both ends. 0 indicates no pain and 10 represents the most severe pain that is unbearable.
Urinary urgency score4 hours after surgery and 2 hours after catheter removal (same time points for non-indwelling catheters)urinary urgency score will be measured by PPIUS scale. 0 No urgency 1. Mild urgency 2. Moderate urgency 3. Severe urgency 4. Urge incontinence

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Painful Memory1 month after surgeryPainful memory will be measured by SUDS scale. 100: Unbearably upset to the point that you cannot function and may be on the verge of a breakdown 90: Extremely anxious and desperate; helpless and unable to handle it 80: Worried and panicky; losing focus and feeling anxious in your body 70: Discomfort dominates your thoughts and you struggle to function normally 60: Moderate to strong levels of discomfort 50: Upset and uncomfortable; still functional 40: Mild to moderate anxiety and worry 30: Worried or upset; still able to function 20: A little bit sad or distressed 10: No distress; alert and focused 0: Peaceful and complete calm
