Referring Physician: D. Neilson, MD, Emanuel Hospital Emergency Room

Reason for Consultation: Mr. Depanfilis is a 60-year-old Caucasian male who is brought to the ER with a rapid onset of severe right-sided flank pain. He was last well approximately three hours ago when he was awakened suddenly by sharp stabbing right-sided episodic back pain every five or so minutes. He arrived in the ER ambulatory and in great distress, as any jarring motion caused severe pain in his flank. He was assisted by his wife. He denies hesitancy, and dysuria.

Examination: Abdomen was rigid, Murphy’s punch positive for sharp right flank pain.

Laboratory: Radiology KUB series showed approximately 4-5 small renal calculi in the right kidney. Ultrasound: Revealed that the patient also had small calculi in the right proximal ureter. Urinalysis: cultures were sterile, +3 hematuria; no casts or protein noted. White count 5,400; Hematocrit 42.6; BUN, PSA, and creatinine were normal; partial thromboplastin and prothrombin times were normal.

Impression:

1. Renal calculi
2. Ureterolith

Procedure: Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy

Operative Report

The patient was transferred to the lithotripsy unit, and placed in the supine position on the table. Anesthesia was administered by Dr. Nophfeal. The patient was properly positioned on the table, in the foci of the shockwaves, via fluoroscopy. Mr. Depanfilis was given a total of 3,000 shocks at a maximum power setting of 2.0. He tolerated the procedure well and was transferred to recovery after it was determined that fragmentation was complete, and the debris was eliminated from the bladder.
