Özet
Objective: Factors that may influence the efficiency and reliability of shock wave lithotripsy have been examined in the treatment of stone disease in patients aged 0-2. Materials and Methods: The data of 149 patients treated with shock wave lithotripsy in our clinic between the ages of 0 and 2 years were evaluated retrospectively. Factors for predicting success in terms of overall stone-free rate were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: The mean age of the group was 14.39 +/- 4.56 months. The stone-free status was achieved in 102 (70.5%) patients in the first session, 15 (65.2%) of 23 patients in the second session, and 2 (50%) of 4 patients in the third session. Thus, 122 (81.9%) of the children were stone-free after shock wave lithotripsy at an average of 10.01 +/- 11.34 months of follow-up. The mean stone size was 8.66 +/- 3.47 mm. Moreover, smaller stone size and single stones were found to be significant predictors of treatment success (p=0.007 and p <= 0.001, respectively). Additionally, it was determined that the single number of stones had a positive effect on treatment success in multivariable analysis (area under the curve=0.683, p=0.002). There were no major complications observed. Conclusion: Our study has shown that shock wave lithotripsy can be used with high success and low morbidity in the treatment of urinary system stone disease in children aged 0-2, especially in the presence of a single stone.
