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.
