Sumario:This study evaluated the clinical value of color Doppler ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in avoiding bleeding caused by punctured blood vessels. Herein, we retrospectively included patients who underwent color Doppler ultrasound-guided PCNL or PCNL using the conventional channel technique from August 2018 to August 2022. The clinical characteristics of patients during surgery, complications, and hospital stay were recorded and compared. Overall, 228 patients were enrolled, with 126 patients (age, 47.6 ± 13.2 years; men: 57.14%) in the color Doppler ultrasound-guided PCNL group and 102 patients (age, 46.6 ± 12.3 years) in the B-mode ultrasound-guided puncture group. The total operation time (63.5 ± 15.5 vs. 61.3 ± 16.3 min, p = .5236) and stone clearance rate (86.50% vs. 83.33%, p = .7139) were similar between the two groups. However, the puncture time for the color Doppler ultrasound-guided PCNL group was longer than that for the B-mode ultrasound-guided puncture group (5.1 ± 2.3 vs. 2.6 ± 1.6 min, p = .0019). Moreover, the length of postoperative hospital stay in the color Doppler ultrasound-guided PCNL group reduced significantly by ∼1 day compared with that in the B-mode ultrasound-guided puncture group (4.5 ± 1.6 vs. 5.6 ± 2.1 days, p = .0087). The blood transfusion rate (1.58% vs. 4.9%, p = .0399), sedation-related adverse event rate (0.79% vs. 2.9%, p = .0332), perineal hematoma incidence (0% vs. 2.94%, p < .0001), and serum decreased hemoglobin levels (12.2 ± 9.7 vs. 23.5 ± 10.1 g/L, p < .001) after color Doppler ultrasound-guided PCNL were significantly lower than those after B-mode ultrasound-guided puncture. The stone clearance rate was similar between the two groups, with a similar operation time. Moreover, color Doppler ultrasound-guided PCNL shortened the postoperative hospital stay and decreased Hb levels, blood transfusion rate, and perineal hematoma incidence.
