ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effects of first phase renal puncture and drainage guided by B ultrasound and second phase percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL) in the treatment of urinary calculi complicated with pyonephrosis. Methods: From January 2014 to April 2018, 28 patients with upper ureteral segment and kidney calculi complicated with pyonephrosis were collected. All patients received the pyonephrosis puncture under B ultrasound. After the inflammation was controlled and the clinical situation improved, the second phase was treated by PCNL. During the operation, routine in dwelling ureteral stent drainage and renal fistula wereperformed. The outcomes of the operation were observed. Results: A total of 28 cases were successfully punctured, the obstruction was relieved and the inflammation was controlled. Additionally, the second phase of PCNL surgery was successful, and there were no significant stone residues after PCNL. There were no complications such as severe systemic inflammatory response syndrome and severe hemorrhage. After 3 to 12 months of follow-up, renal function was restored to varying degrees, and there were no renal failure patients who needednephrectomy. Conclusions: Early diagnosis of urinary calculi complicated with pyonephrosis is the key to successful treatment. Active and effective B ultrasound-guided renal puncture and drainage, drainage of pus, and removal of urinary obstruction can improve the safety of the second phase of PCNL, and thus it attaches great importance to the treatment of pyonephrosis.
