Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of ureteropyeloscopy and B-type ultrasonography in the treatment of staghorn calculi. Methods Pneumatic lithotripsy was performed and the residual stone and stone fragments were removed under the assistance of ureteropyeloscope and B-type ultrasonograph in 40 patients. Results The stone fragments were small enough to remove and the calculi removal rate was 92.5% (37/40). The rate of complications mainly including hemorrhage and residual stones was 7.5% (3/40). Conclusion The application of ureteropyeloscopy and B-type ultrasonography in the treatment of staghorn calculi is safe and less invasive, and can reduce effectively the incidence of residual stones.
