Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine if use of an automated irrigation pump (AIP) during ureteroscopy (URS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) affects circulating nurse labor, irrigation-related issues, and surgeon and nurse satisfaction when compared to manual hand pump (HP) irrigation. Methods: Eighty consecutive adult patients undergoing unilateral URS or PCNL were prospectively randomized to irrigation with the HP or AIP. Preoperative pump setup time, intraoperative pump maintenance time, total pump time (setup+maintenance), and the number of irrigation-related concerns verbalized by the surgeon intraoperatively were recorded; postoperatively, surgeons and nurses rated their satisfaction with the irrigation system (1 = highly dissatisfied to 10 = highly satisfied). Results: Eighty patients were enrolled (39 AIP and 41 HP); 51 patients underwent URS and 29 patients underwent PCNL. On univariate analysis, the AIP resulted in a significantly reduced total pump time for URS (2.9 vs 5.9 minutes) and PCNL (4.6 vs 33.9 minutes; p
