Standard means difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was utilized as the major estimate in the synthesis of continuous data, while odds ratio (OR) with a 95% CI was synthesized as the main estimate in the synthesis of discontinuous data. The final inclusion date for this meta-analysis was May 1, 2022, and 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were finally included. For relevant literature, we searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CKNI, and the Cochrane Library. Methods: We did this meta-analysis following the preferred reporting criteria for systematic reviews and meta-analysis to combine the data of published studies to compare the CEUS-guided PCNL and the standard US-guided PCNL (PRISMA).
Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) has been used in PCNL techniques to address this issue. The puncture success rate fell to 82%, and the total complication rate rose to 15% in kidneys with non-dilated collecting systems. Background: It has been demonstrated that ultrasound-guided renal collecting system access during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is efficient and secure.
