Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL) in the management of renal or ureteral calculi.Methods MPCNL was performed in 52 patients with renal or ureteral calculi under the localization of C-arm fluoroscopy and/or B-ultrasonography.Results Among the 52 patients,a conversion to open surgery was needed in 1 patient because of perforation of the renal pelvis.The stones were completely extracted on one session in 33 patients,and by a re-operation of MPCNL through the fistulization tube 1 week later in 15 patients.The total stone-free rate was 92.3%.The operation time was 1.5~4 h(mean, 2.5 h).No blood transfusion was needed.Conclusions Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a safe and effective procedure,especially suitable for basic hospitals.
