Background: Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) produces ipsilateral somatic and sympathetic nerve blockade in multiple contiguous dermatomes both above and below the site of injection.  The Aim of This Study: was to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided TPVB versus intravenous (IV) sedative analgesic using midazolam / fentanyl in patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) procedure. Patients and Methods: This prospective, randomized study was carried out on sixty patients aged 20-60 years, with radio-opaque renal stone not more than1.5cm. TPVB group (30 patients) received ipsilateral ultrasound-guided TPVB at the level T9-T10 using bupivacaine 0.25% (20 mL) about 30 minutes before the ESWL. Midazolam/fentanyl group (30 patients) received sedatives analgesic drugs using IV midazolam (0.05 mg / kg) and fentanyl (1 µg/kg) about 5 min before the ESWL. The VAS score during and 30 min post procedure, total dose of rescue analgesic consumption during ESWL procedure, the success rate of ESWL, the time needed to stone clearance, patient and operator satisfaction scores were recorded. Result: During and after ESWL procedure, the VAS scores were significantly higher in midazolam/fentanyl group than TPVB group (P < 0.05). The number of patients required rescue analgesic during ESWL was significantly higher in midazolam/fentanyl group compared to TPVB group (P < 0.05).The success rate of ESWL was insignificantly different between both groups (P > 0.05). The time needed to stone clearance was significantly shorter in TPVB group compared to midazolam/fentanyl group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided TPVB provided more effective analgesia with reduced number of ESWL sessions and shorter time to renal stone clearance than IV midazolam/fentanyl.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to observe the success rate of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the management of upper urinary tract stones. Materials and Methods: This retroprospective study was conducted in Pokhara Kidney stone Centre, Pokhara, Kaski, Nepal from January 2017 to January 2018. Seventy nine patients were selected in this study with upper urinary tract stone, size less than 20 mm. Results: Seventy four (93.67%) patients were successfully treated in initial use of shock wave and 5 (6.32%) patients required repetition. Conclusion: Overall satisfactory success rate was observed using ESWL for the upper urinary tract stone. Careful selection of patient, stone size and Hounsfield unit (HU) is advisable.

Objective: To evaluate the success of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the treatment of ureteric calculi and determine the factors which influence outcome. Patients and methods: A retrospective audit of patients with a single ureteric stone receiving ESWL was performed. Success was defined as complete stone clearance on post-treatment imaging. Patient demographics and stone characteristics were correlated to ESWL outcome. Results: 108 patients met the inclusion criteria for this study. The mean age of the patients was 52.5 years (range 24–89 years). 80% (86/108) of patients were male. Stone sizes varied from 4 to 19 mm (mean 7.92 mm). The overall ESWL success rate for ureteric stones was 79%. Treatment was more effective for smaller ( p = 0.003) and more located stones ( p = 0.035). Stone size correlated with number of treatments required ( p =0.005). A JJ stent in situ at the time of ESWL reduced the success rate ( p = 0.002). Conclusions: Stone size, site in the ureter, and the presence of a JJ stent were predictors of ESWL success. Our study from a District General Hospital in the UK demonstrates that ESWL may be used with high efficacy to treat ureteric stones.
