PURPOSE: Urgent indications for nephrolithiasis treatment include obstruction with intractable pain or renal impairment without untreated infection. Patients and hospitals may benefit from urgent primary ureteroscopy. We aimed to examine variation in urgent ureteroscopy utilization and associated outcomes.
METHODS: Using Reducing Operative Complications from Kidney Stones (ROCKS), we identified all ureteroscopy's between 2016 and 2019. Cases were classified by acuity (elective versus urgent). We assessed practice/urologist variation in urgent ureteroscopy performance. We characterized patients demographic, operative and outcomes data, making bivariate comparisons with elective ureteroscopy to understand implications of urgent surgery. We performed multilevel modeling to understand factors associated with unplanned healthcare encounters after urgent ureteroscopy.
RESULTS: 12,859 cases were identified from 33 practices and 204 urologists, 10,854 (84.4%) elective and 2005 (15.6%) urgent. Urgent ureteroscopy was performed on younger patients (53 vs 57, p < 0.001), with higher rates of ureteral stones (72.8% vs 56.8%, p < 0.001). Urgent ureteroscopy rates varied widely by practice (2-70%) and urologist (0-98%). Urgent ureteroscopy had higher stenting rates (77.4% vs 72.5%, p < 0.001), stone free rates (66% vs 58.4%, p < 0.001), and postoperative ED visits (11% vs 7.2%, p < 0.001). There were no differences in intraoperative complications or unplanned hospitalizations. Factors predictive of ED visits in urgent ureteroscopy included concomitant ureteral/renal stone location (OR = 1.53, CI = 1.05-2.23, p = 0.035).
CONCLUSIONS: In Michigan elective ureteroscopy is performed 5 times more frequently than urgent ureteroscopy with wide variation. Urgent ureteroscopy demonstrated low morbidity. Urgent ureteroscopy produced modestly higher stone free rates with a slightly increased frequency of unscheduled ED visits particularly for ureteral stones.
