Analysis of percutaneous nephrostolithotomy effect on patients with different body mass index / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (PCNL) on patients with different body mass index.Methods The clinical data of 84 patients with kidney stones who were treated with PCNL surgical treatment were enrolled in this study,and they were divided into different groups according to body mass index (BMI),including 16 cases of BMI ＜ 18.5 kg/m2(low BMI group),36 cases of 18.5 kg/m2≤BMI ＜24.0 kg/m2 (normal BMI group),32 cases of BMI≥24.0 kg/m2 (high BMI group),and the curative effect was evaluated.Results Three groups' operation time,multichannel gravel rate,stones clearance,length of hospital stay,blood transfusion rate had no significant difference (P ＞0.05),the incidence of complications in low BMI group [31.25％ (5/16)] was obviously higher than that in normal BMI group [5.56％(2/36)] and high BMI group [9.38％(3/32)],there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion BMI of PCNL surgery influences on certain effect,low BMI will affect patients with surgery tolerance,cause complications increase,obesity wifl increase the difficulty of the operation.
