The Saudi urological association guidelines on urolithiasis. Urol Ann 2024; 16:1-27. [PMID: 38415236 PMCID: PMC10896325 DOI: 10.4103/ua.ua_120_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Aims The Saudi Urolithiasis Guidelines are a set of recommendations for diagnosing, evaluating, and treating urolithiasis in the Saudi population. These guidelines are based on the latest evidence and expert consensus to improve patient outcomes and optimize care delivery. They cover the various aspects of urolithiasis, including risk factors, diagnosis, medical and surgical treatments, and prevention strategies. By following these guidelines, health-care professionals can improve care quality for individuals with urolithiasis in Saudi Arabia. Panel The Saudi Urolithiasis Guidelines Panel consists of urologists specialized in endourology with expertise in urolithiasis and consultation with a guideline methodologist. All panelists involved in this document have submitted statements disclosing any potential conflicts of interest. Methods The Saudi Guidelines on Urolithiasis were developed by relying primarily on established international guidelines to adopt or adapt the most appropriate guidance for the Saudi context. When necessary, the panel modified the phrasing of recommendations from different sources to ensure consistency within the document. To address areas less well covered in existing guidelines, the panel conducted a directed literature search for high quality evidence published in English, including meta analyses, randomized controlled trials, and prospective nonrandomized comparative studies. The panel also searched for locally relevant studies containing information unique to the Saudi Arabian population. The recommendations are formulated with a direction and strength of recommendation based on GRADE terminology and interpretation while relying on existing summaries of evidence from the existing guidelines.

Abstract
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a standard treatment for nephrolithiasis. It is widely employed due to its relative safety profile when compared with other treatment options. Recognised complications include localised pain at site, steinstrasse, perinephric haematoma and ureteric obstruction. This report presents a rare non-documented complication of ESWL, pseudoaneurysm of the arc of Buhler, a branch artery of the superior mesenteric artery.

JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY CASES INNOVATIONS AND TECHNIQUES 2020; 6:473-477.

Abstract
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) can lead to rare but severe arterial complications. The causal relationship of ESWL with arterial pseudoaneurysm formation in a patient with Behçet disease is discussed. A 35-year-old man presented with acute recrudescence of right flank pain caused by ureteral lithiasis immediately after having undergone a last session of ESWL. Abdominal examination revealed a painful pulsatile mass in the right iliac region. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography identified a pseudoaneurysm of the right external iliac artery in a patient with a medical history of Behçet disease. The pseudoaneurysm was treated endovascularly, including the use of a covered stent with intensive immunosuppressive therapy. We obtained successful exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm. This case highlights that arterial pseudoaneurysm may occur after ESWL in patients with Behçet disease. Strict follow-up after ESWL sessions is necessary.

Abstract
For over 35 years shock wave lithotripsy has proven to be an effective, safe and truly minimally invasive option for the treatment of nephrolithiasis. Various technical factors as well as patient selection can impact the success of the procedure. We used published work focusing on outcomes of shock wave lithotripsy, risk of complications, and strategies for improving stone fragmentation to create this review. Multiple patient and technical factors have been found to impact success of treatment. Skin to stone distance, stone density and composition, size and location of the stone within the urinary system all influence stone free rates. A slower rate with a gradual increasing voltage, precise targeting, proper coupling will improve stone fragmentation and decrease risk of complications. The selection of appropriate patients through a shared decision making process and attention to the technical factors that improve stone free rates is key to providing an effective treatment and patient satisfaction.

The effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy for the treatment of lower limb ulceration: a systematic review. J Foot Ankle Res 2015; 8:3. [PMID: 25722746 PMCID: PMC4342213 DOI: 10.1186/s13047-014-0059-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2014] [Accepted: 12/22/2014] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been reported as an effective treatment for lower limb ulceration. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy for the treatment of lower limb ulceration. Five electronic databases (Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Knowledge, Scopus and Ovid AMED) and reference lists from relevant studies were searched in December 2013. All study designs, with the exception of case-reports, were eligible for inclusion in this review. Assessment of each study’s methodological quality was performed using the Quality Index tool. The effectiveness of studies was measured by calculating effect sizes (Cohen’s d) from means and standard deviations. Five studies, including; three randomised controlled trials, one quasi-experimental study and one case-series design met our inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Quality assessment scores ranged from 38 to 63% (mean 53%). Improvements in wound healing were identified in these studies following extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The majority of wounds assessed were associated with diabetes and the effectiveness of ESWT as an addition to standard care has only been assessed in one randomised controlled trial. Considering the limited evidence identified, further research is needed to support the use of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in the treatment of lower limb ulceration.
