Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy with U100plus laser for renal calculi:report of 133 cases / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of minimally invasive percutaneous nephro-lithotomy (mPCNL) with U100plus laser for the treatment of renal calculi. Methods From October 2006 to December 2008 ,mPCNL was performed on 133 patients suffering from renal calculi by using Wolf 8/9. 8 rig-id ureteroscope and U10Oplus laser. Results mPCNL was completed in all the 133 cases. Residual calculi were found in 7 cases after operation and use medical drags to treat. The most residual calculi were removed after 1 month and a few stones being survived. 5 cases with residual calculi were treated by ESWL. The total stone clearance was 91.0%. The operation time was 38 -65 min(mean 46 min). Nephrostomy tube was kept for a mean of 1 -2 d. The mean postoperational hospital stay was 2 -4 d. Among the patients, 133 were followed up for 1-16 months (mean 8. 3 months) , during which no recurrent renal stones were found by B ultrasonngraphy or X ray. Conclusion By using mPCNL with U100plus laser, patients with renal calculi can be treated safely and effectively.
