Study of the Patient Radiation Dose During Five Endourological Procedures (PRDE)

April 22, 2024 updated by: Vincent De Coninck, Universiteit Antwerpen

Prospective Multicentric Study of the Patient Radiation Dose During Five Endourological Procedures: Insertion and Replacement of Ureteral Stent, URS, (Mini-)PCNL/ PCNL and ESWL/SWL

In the medical world more and more procedures are performed with the use of ionizing radiation (x-ray), both diagnostic and therapeutic. The main and most known risk is the development of malignancies as a result of the use of ionizing radiation.

Purpose of this study: To examine the patient radiation dose (PRD) if the frames per second (FPS) are set differently during the five most performed endourological procedures where fluoroscopy is used (insertion/replacement of ureteral stent, (mini-)percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL/PNL), ureterorenoscopy (URS) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL/SWL)) and to propose an acceptable PRD for these procedures in a multicentric study.
