Olympus reviewed the following literature titled ¿the effect of endoscopic renal and ureteral stone surgeries on renal blood flow in children: a prospective trial¿.Literature summary aim: to assess the impact of endoscopic stone surgeries on renal perfusion and blood flow in children.Materials and methods: children who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (pcnl), retrograde intrarenal surgery (rirs), ureterorenoscopy (urs), endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ecirs) were included to the study.Renal doppler ultrasonography (rdus) was performed one day before the operation, and on the postoperative 1st day and 1st month.Peak systolic velocity (psv) and end-diastolic velocity (edv) were measured, and resistive index (ri) was calculated with the (psv-edv)/psv formula.Rdus parameters were compared before and after surgery and between ipsilateral and contralateral kidneys.Results: a total of 45 children with a median age was 8 (2¿17) years were included (15 (33.3%) girls, 30 (66.7%) boys).Pcnl was performed in 13 children (28.9%), rirs 11 (24.4%), urs 12 (26.7%), and ecirs 9 (20%).There was no significant difference in renal and segmental psv, edv and ri values of operated kidney in the preoperative, postoperative periods.There was no significant difference between rdus parameters of the ipsilateral and contralateral kidneys in preoperative or postoperative periods.Psv and edv values were significantly higher in the 1st postoperative month in the group without preoperative dj stent than in the group with dj stent (p = 0,031, p = 0,041, respectively).However, ri values were similar.The mean ri were below the threshold value of 0.7 in each period.Conclusion: rdus parameters didn¿t show a significant difference in children.Endoscopic surgeries can be safely performed in pediatric stone disease.Type of adverse events/number of patients penile edema (1 patient).Fever, positive blood culture, febrile convulsion, elevation in acute-phase reactants, and hemoglobin drop requiring erythrocyte sedimentation replacement (12 patients).
