Treatment of impacted upper ureteral calculi with minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive pereutaneous nephro-lithotomy(MPCNL) in treating impacted upper ureteral calculi. Methods 50 cases with impacted upper ureteral cal-culi treted with MPCNL were analyzed retrospectively. Results All cases were rendered stone free at one session, clearance rate was 100%, 1 case required transfusion,no other major complications was observed. Conclusion MPC-NL was safe and effective in treating impacted upper ureteral calculi with a high clearance rate.
