Obstruction of Malignancy: Percutaneous Renal vs Endoscopic Stent

CancerUrinary Obstruction4 more

This research study will compare two procedures commonly used to treat urinary obstruction due to cancer. Sometimes cancer blocks one or both ureters (narrow tubes in the body that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder). When these ureters become blocked, the body can no longer properly drain urine. This blocking of the ureters is called urinary obstruction, which can lead to kidney problems, infection, and pain. Treatment options for urinary obstruction include ureteral stent placement and percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement. Both treatment options require a doctor to place soft tubes (like a catheter) inside the body to help the ureters properly drain urine. These two treatment options have different success rates, risks, and effects on quality of life. By doing this study, researchers hope to learn which treatment option is best for individuals who develop urinary obstruction because of cancer. Participation in this research will last about 3 months.

Tandem Polyurethane Stents Compared to Single Silicone Stent for Malignant Ureteral Obstruction...

Hydronephrosis; ObstructionUreter4 more

Malignant ureteral obstruction (MUO) is an extrinsic ureteral obstruction caused by malignant diseases. This study aim to compare tandem 6 Fr Percuflex™ stents and single large-caliber 8Fr silicone stent in patients with MUO. The primary endpoint is stent failure rate. The secondary endpoints are patient comfort, quality of life and overall survival.

Decision Aid for Parents of Infants With UPJO

Ureteropelvic Junction ObstructionUreteropelvic Junction; Obstruction1 more

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is the most common etiology of high-grade hydronephrosis, affecting approximately 4,000-10,000 infants annually in the U.S. The goal of surgical treatment of UPJO is to minimize the risk of kidney damage associated with obstruction, which may occur in 30-60% of infants with high-grade hydronephrosis.1-However, the benefit of early surgery compared to observation and potential later surgery to preserve kidney function has not been well-defined. Consequently, surgeons differ on whether to initially treat with surgery or observation, with surgical rates in the first year of life varying from 15-50% across surgical practices. These variations are important to understand, as the decision for early surgery is not without risk. Prior studies suggest that infants treated surgically are at higher risk for readmission and reoperation. Early surgery also raises concerns about neurodevelopmental effects of anesthetic exposure. To address this gap, the purpose of this pilot test is to develop a patient decision aid (PtDA) tool and pilot test its effect on parental understanding and engagement in the decision-making process at Children's Hospital Colorado. The proposed pilot is a necessary first step in preparation for a future multicenter hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial. This work will also be used to support future studies evaluating the impact of a PtDA on surgical variations and treatment outcomes in patients with UPJO and other complex congenital urologic anomalies.

The Efficacy and Safety of Local Anesthetic Infusion With Ropivacaine

Obstruction of Pelviureteric Junction

The investigators propose a prospective blinded randomized control trial (RCT) to assess the efficacy and safety of a simple method of continuous infusion of a local anesthetic, ropivacaine, via a surgical wound to control pain after ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) stenosis correction in children during the first 48 hrs after surgery. The investigators hypothesize that this technique will provide greater pain relief post-operatively and reduce the need for systemic opioid use along with a reduction in associated side effects of such analgesics.

Indwelling Double-J Ureteral Stent Versus Externalized Modified-Salle Stent for Pyeloplasty

Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction

This prospective study, Randomized Trial of Indwelling Double-J Ureteral Stent Versus Externalized Modified-Salle Stent for Pyeloplasty will consist of four steps: 1.) Enrolling subjects in the study and signing the consent form 2.) Randomly divide subjects into 2 groups, group 1 will have internal stent and group 2 will have external stent 3.) At the time of stent removal in the clinic or in the OR subjects parents/ subjects will fill a questionnaire about pain after the procedure, stent care and stent tolerance and 4) Data from the questionnaires and procedure cost will be collected and all the data will be analyzed

Pediatric Robotic Versus Open Pyeloplasty

Pediatric UrologyUreteropelvic Junction Obstruction

The objective is conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing robotic and open techniques for surgical correction of congenital UPJ obstruction (pyeloplasty) in pediatric patients. This study will serve as a proof of concept trial to demonstrate feasibility of recruiting pediatric patients to participate in a randomized study for surgical procedures and delineate patient-centered outcomes. Should this study prove randomization is feasible, a randomized comparative effectiveness trial with sufficient power to determine whether open or robotic-assisted pyeloplasty has superior patient-centered outcomes will be pursued.
