Abstract

【Objective】 To explore the diagnosis and management of liver injury caused by percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL), so as to provide reference for the diagnoise and treatment of similar patients. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 926 patients who underwent PCNL during Oct.2017 and Oct.2022 were searched, and the data of those complicated with liver injury were analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 11 cases were collected, including 6 males and 5 females, average age (55.00±13.25)years.All injuries were confirmed with CT.The average decrease of hemoglobin after operation was (14.00±11.97)g/L.One patient needed blood transfusion due to pyonephrosis and multiple operations, and all patients were cured and discharged after delaying the removal of nephrostomy tube [an average of (6.73±1.27)days] . 【Conclusion】 In the absence of obvious signs of peritonitis and hemodynamic stability, conservative treatment of liver injury caused by PCNL is safe and effective.
