Vacuum-Assisted Mini-Percutaneous Versus Transurethral Cystolithotripsy in Pediatric Bladder Stones (VAMPCL-Ped)

22. maj 2026 opdateret af: Hany Fathy Badawy, MD, Beni-Suef University

Vacuum-Assisted Mini-Percutaneous Cystolithotomy Versus Transurethral Cystolithotripsy in Pediatric Bladder Stones: A Prospective Randomized Study

This prospective randomized pilot study will compare vacuum-assisted mini-percutaneous cystolithotripsy with standard transurethral cystolithotripsy for the treatment of bladder stones in children. Forty children aged 2 to 14 years with bladder stone(s) measuring 10-30 mm will be randomly assigned to one of two surgical approaches. The vacuum-assisted mini-percutaneous group will undergo suprapubic percutaneous access using a mini sheath with suction-assisted fragment evacuation, while the transurethral group will undergo standard transurethral cystolithotripsy. The primary outcome will be total operative time. Secondary outcomes will include stone-free rate, lithotripsy and fragment clearance time, urethral mucosal injury, postoperative hematuria, fever, urinary tract infection, sepsis, urinary retention, urinary leakage from the suprapubic tract, catheterization time, hospital stay, postoperative pain, analgesic requirement, need for auxiliary procedures or conversion, and recurrence or urethral stricture-related symptoms during follow-up.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Bladder stones in children remain a relevant urological condition, particularly in settings where nutritional, metabolic, infectious, or hydration-related factors may contribute to stone formation. Minimally invasive endoscopic management has largely replaced open cystolithotomy in many centers. Transurethral cystolithotripsy is commonly used, but in young children the small urethral caliber may make repeated instrumentation and fragment extraction technically challenging and may raise concern about urethral mucosal trauma. Percutaneous cystolithotripsy provides an alternative route that may reduce repeated transurethral fragment extraction.

Vacuum-assisted mini-percutaneous cystolithotripsy uses a suprapubic percutaneous access tract and a suction-assisted sheath to maintain visibility and facilitate evacuation of stone dust and fragments during laser lithotripsy. However, pediatric comparative evidence remains limited.

This study is designed as a prospective randomized controlled pilot study including 40 children with bladder stone(s) measuring 10-30 mm. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to vacuum-assisted mini-percutaneous cystolithotripsy or transurethral cystolithotripsy. Both procedures will be performed under general anesthesia using Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy. Patients will be followed postoperatively to assess operative, perioperative, and follow-up outcomes. The study aims to generate preliminary comparative data on operative time, safety, stone clearance, postoperative recovery, and follow-up urinary outcomes to inform future adequately powered trials.
