Objective To evaluate the efficacy, advantages and shortcomings of micro-percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treatment of uncomplicated ureteral calculi.Methods Clinical data were collected from 126 patients with a failure treatment of history by ESWL (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) and RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery) in treatment of upper ureteral calculi (< 3.0 cm) from June 2015 to May 2016. Antegrade percutaneous access was obtained by B-type ultrasound guidance. Micro-PCNL was done using YAG laser fiber or pneumatic through the ureteroscope (F4.5~F6.5、F6.0~F7.5, 315 mm) to disintegrate the stones. The calculi clearance rate, operation time, operative hemorrhage, length of hospital stay and complications of the patients were analyzed after operation.ResultsThe calculi clearance rate was 88.9%, the operation time was 15~75 min, the operative hemorrhage was 15~35 ml, the length of hospital stay was 5~10 d. Only one patient need the second stage surgery because of intraoperative hemorrhage affected the surgical ifeld. No patients occurred massive hemorrhage, pneumothorax, bowel and other complications such as organ damage.Conclusion Micro-PCNL had a good clinical curative effect and security in treatment of uncomplicated ureteral calculi, which was worthy of promoting clinically.

Objective To evaluate the value of CT virtual endoscopy(CTVE)for microsurgery of pituitary microadenomas via transsphenoidal approach.Methods In 18 patients with pituitary micmadenomas underwent microsurgery via transsphenoidal approach,the presurgical CT data was transfered to work station,the anatomies of the sphenoid sinus were then reconstructed by CTVE.The CTVE images were used to make the preoperative planning and indentify sphenoid sinus, sellar floor,and the position of the tumor during surgery.The CTVE images and the views from intraoperative microscope were compared. Results CTVE could display the anotomoties of sphenoid sinus in a three-dimentional mode.The display rates of superfical antomies such as sphenoid septa,sellar floor,carotid prominence,optic prominence and opticocarotid recess were 344.4%,100%,41.7%,36.1%and 58.3%respectively and the visual fields of these anatomic landmarks were larger than the views from the intraoperative microscope. CTVE could depcit the anatomies of the enhanced carotid ateries and pituitary tissue and some optic canals underlying the sellae by transparent function or heighten the threshold.The sites of the tumor could be marked correctly on CTVE images.CTVE could simulate the operative approach and some operating procedures properatively. Conclusion CTVE can display the anatomies of sphenoid sinus in a three-dimensional mode. In transsphenoidal treatment of pituitary microadenoma,CTVE can help to make preoperative planning,locate the intraoperative structures and make a precise bone window during surgery.
