Presence of ureterohydronephrosis
Ureterohydronephrosis represents the augmentation of the diameter of the ureter (more than 10 millimeters) and the renal pelvis (more than 30 millimeters), which can be measured on imaging such as abdominal ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. Whenever the ureter and the renal pelvis meet these criteria on preoperative imaging, the patient will be labeled as having ureterohydronephrosis.
Time frame: Before surgery
Presence of abdominal pain
Flank pain (pain in the upper abdomen or back)
Time frame: Before surgery
Presence of urinary calculi
Urinary calculi can be diagnosed on an abdominal X-Ray, an abdominal Ultrasound or an abdominal CT scan
Time frame: Before surgery
Presence of abnormal nuclear renal scans
Nuclear renal scans are abnormal when there is a difference of filtration of more than 40% between the kidneys
Time frame: Before surgery
Presence of urinary tract infection
Urinary tract infection associated with ureteropelvic junction
Time frame: Before surgery
Postoperative pain
The numeric rating scale (NRS) is a pain screening tool commonly used to assess pain severity at that moment in time using a 0-10 scale, with zero meaning "no pain" and ten meaning "the worst pain imaginable."
Time frame: After surgery and before discharge home, up to 20 days
Postoperative complications
Pyelonephritis
