  • Beschreibung: Aim:Aim of the present study was to analyze the outcomes of obese patients treatedwith ureterorenoscopy for upper calyceal stones.  Material and Method:Data of obese patients who had flexible ureterorenoscopy for upper calycealstones in January 2015-December 2018 period were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic features, stone sizes, stent use after theoperation, operative time, hospital stay, complications and stone-free ratewere evaluated.Results:The study included 30 obese patients (18 male and 12 female). Average age was52.6±12.06 years. Average stone size was 19.46±6.6 mm. Average operative timewas 72.1±16.8 minutes and hospital stay was 1.5±1.1 days. Success rate was73.3%. Double J stent was placed in 76.6% of the patients after the operation.In postoperative follow-ups, three patients had severe colic pain, fivepatients had hematuria lasted less than 24 hours without need for blood transfusionand two patients had urinary system infection. No major complications thatcould lead to morbidity or mortality were observed in any patients.Conclusion:Flexible ureterorenoscopy is an efficient treatment method with its higherstone-free and lower complication rates for the treatment of upper calycealstones in obese patients.
