Objective To evaluate the efficacy of lower pole incision pyelocalycolithotomy for the removal of complex stag-horn renal calculi. Methods The clinical data of 13 patients with complex stag-horn renal calculi underwent lower pole incision pyelocalycolithotomy were retrospectively analyzed. Results The renal pedicel blood flow did not be interrupted during operation. The mean operative time was 140 minutes, and the mean amount of blood loss during operation was 220ml. The size of the biggest removed stone was 7 2cm?4 1cm?3 5cm, and in one case the number of the removed stones amounted to 35 pieces. KUB plus IVP examination did not reveal the residual renal stone in all cases one month after operation. Conclusion The lower pole incision pyelocalycodithotomy have the advantages of simplicity, less bleeding,complete removal of calculus and preservation of renal function. It is one of effective operative procedures to treat big stag-horn renal calculi.

Objective To evaluate wedge resection of the back labium renalis and intrasinusal pyelolithotomy for staghorn calculi of kidney in patients with intrarenal pelvis and renal malrotation. Methods From August 1998 to February 2001, 18 cases of staghorn stones of kidney were removed via the wedge resection of the back labium of hilum renalis and incision of the intrarenal sinus. Results The mean operative time was 110 min and the mean blood loss 300 ml.The biggest stone was 6.5 cm?5.0 cm?3.0 cm and in one case the number of stones amounted to 1 400. Postoperative KUB showed no residual stones and postoperative IVU indicated normal renal function.All patients have been followed up for 1～3 years and have been free of stone. Conclusions The procedure has the advantages of no need of pedicle renalis occlusion,less bleeding,a clear operation field,easy staghorn calculi removal and the avoidance of renal hilum outlet obstruction.

ObjectiveTo evaluate wedge resection of th e back labium renalis in the repairation of iatrogenic pelvis tear. MethodsFrom October 1999 to February 2002,7 cases of iatrogenic pel vis tear were repaired with wedge resection of the back labium of renal hilum.Th ere were 5 male patients and 2 female with an average age of 45.The tear occurre d during lithotomy for pelvis stone in 6 and transureteroscopic lithotripsy in 1.ResultsThe mean operative time was 130 min and the m ean blood loss 300 ml,postoperative IVU showed no obstruction of the renal pelvi s,and the renal function has been normal.All patients have been followed up for 3 months to 3 years.Neither hydronephrosis nor renal pelvis obstruction has been noted.ConclusionsThe procedure has the advantages of no need of predicle occlusion,less bleeding,a clear operation field,easy repaira tion,and the avoidance of pelvis obstruction.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy,safety and side effects of 0.5% povidone-iodine in intravesical treatment of interstitial cystitis (IC). Methods Thirty-three cases of IC were divided randomly into group A (18 cases) and group B (15 cases). Group A was treated by intravesical instillation with 50 ml of 0.5% povidone-iodine which was kept in the bladder for 2 hours,once a day for 2 weeks. Group B was treated in the same way,but with 1:5000 furacilin instead. The symptoms,results of cystoscope inspect and adverse effects were investigated. Results All cases were followed up from 8 to 22 months (in average of 18 months). There was significant difference in the scores of clinical symptoms after treatment between two groups (P
