  • 2020 № 4 Increased accuracy of prediction of fragmentation duration of urinary stones based on multifactorial regression models

    The regression models for prediction of contact holmium lithotripsy duration are given. Models are obtained on the
    basis of calculated and experimental data on duration of different stages of laser lithotripsy. They allow, based on the volume and radiological density of urinary stones and taking into account the anatomical characteristics of the patient, to calculate the expected time of complete fragmentation of the stones with a higher accuracy than on the factor of additional costs the known model based

  • 2020 № 1 Methods of Modelling and Prediction of Surgery Duration

    Based on the analysis of foreign publications, a comparative characteristic of methods and models of prediction
    of surgical operations duration was carried out. The importance of estimating the accuracy of prediction the duration of
    operations for effective planning of the use of operating rooms and high-tech equipment is shown. Analyzed statistical and
    regression methods to predict the duration of operations, and the use of artificial neural networks to estimate the duration
    of an operation. Mathematical expressions are given, allowing to estimate duration of operation as a whole, as well as data
    on prediction errors.

  • 2020 № 2 Prediction of time of transurethral holmium lithotripsy in urolitiaz’s treatment

    Introduction. Rational planning of use of the operating room and the high-tech equipment used at treatment of urolithiasis requires knowledge of time spent for ablation of uric concrements which in turn consists of time interval actually of stone breaking and time spent for additional actions: survey of the place of fragmentation, movement of laser fiber to the displaced stone, changes of caliber of an ureteroscop and so forth. Now there are no methods of calculation or prediction of these intervals of time.
    Purpose:   to develop a way of prediction of time of fragmentation of uric stones taking into account additional expenses of
    time when using a contact lithotripsy the holmium laser that on the basis of knowledge of time of operation it is rational to plan loading of the operational room and the high-tech equipment.
    Materials and methods. Own results of measurements of in Vivo of the intervals of time spent for actually destruction of a uric
    stone and for the auxiliary actions necessary at carrying out operation of a lithotripsy and also the general time of final fragmentation of a concrement are given in work. Fragmentation of concrements was carried out by means of rigidny and flexible urethroscop in a ureter and cup pelvis to a system. Additional irrigation of operational area by means of a needle was applied. Methods of statistical data processing and a Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox package of the Matlab system for prediction of duration of the procedure of fragmentation of concrements a holmium lithotripter of Triple (Medoptotekh) are used.
    Results.  The linear regression model is offered for prediction of the general time on ablation of urinary stone which the general
    time is presented in the form of the sum of time ablation for actually process of breaking, and time of additional costs of performance of auxiliary manipulations. Treat auxiliary actions: washing of field of crushing, a movement of optical fiber because of the shift of its retropulsion of a stone and a respiratory excursion, need of change of caliber of an urethroscop, repeated pass through a urethra and a ureter and so forth. Time of direct breaking of a stone is defined on the basis of the mass of a stone calculated on by the holmium laser measured at KT the volume and density, specific speed of loss of mass of a stone when breaking, energy and frequencies of impulses of a laser lithotripter. Time of additional expenses is presented in the form of the work of time of direct breaking of a stone for coefficient of additional expenses. By measurements in vivo and statistical data processing average and maximum allowed values of coefficients of additional expenses when ablations in various parts of a urinary system are received. Average values of these coefficients are 5.44±2.42 when breaking stones in cup pelvis a system a rigid ureteroscop; 3.86±1.95 when using flexible ureteroscop; 8.92±3.13 when breaking stones in various part of a ureter and 1.36±0.62 when using for additional washing of field of breaking by means of a needle.
    Conclusion. The obtained data of pilot studies of during of crushing of uric concrements and intervals of time of additional costs of carrying out the auxiliary manipulations which are carried out along with the procedure actually of crushing of stones and also the way of additional washing of a cavity of crushing allowing to reduce time of additional expenses when crushing by 4 times is offered. The mathematical model for calculation of duration of the total costs of crushing allowing to predict more precisely duration of operation of a contact lithotripsy the holmium laser in general is developed.
