Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the surgical technique and clinical application of retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy and ureterolithotomy with no suture of the incision. Methods Twenty-five patients who had upper urinary tract calculi with the course from 10 months to 6 years were enrolled.The size of the calculi was 1.2 to 3.1 cm in diameter.ESWL was ineffecative in 14 of the patients and ureteroscopic lithotomy failed in 2 of them.Then the 25 patients underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy and ureterolithotomy.Details of the procedure were presented. Results All the operations were successful in the 25 patients. The operations took 60 to 190 min with a mean time of 105 min.All the patients fully recovered with no complication observed during the 9～12 months' follow-up.
