Abstract:
On a standpoint of commonly available ESWL for the treatment of urinary stone, percutaneous stone extraction had the role of cooperation to it, and sometimes it could be the first procedure of choice. We have performed percutaneous extraction of the renal and upper ureteral stones in 35 renal unite. The overall success rate was 78.4%, average operation time was 81 minutes, mean fluoroscopic exposure time was 11 minutes, average postoperative hospital stay was 7 days. Causes of failure were as followings ; five inadequate calyceal puncture, one ureteral perforation, one impacted stone, and one downward stone migration.
