18. Ultrasonic-guided mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy for patients with complex kidney stones: Access choice and surgical strategies
Main Article Content
Abstract
Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (miniPCNL) has become the standard and gradually replaced open surgery in the treatment of kidney stones. The study aimed to evaluate the role of access choice and surgical strategy in the treatment of complex kidney stones using miniPCNL under ultrasound guidance. This is anobservational study of 51 cases of complex kidney stones undergoing miniPCNL. The results showed that all patients only had to undergo lithotripsy once; The stone-free rate right after surgery was 92.2% and after 1 month reached 96.1%; There were no complication or serious complicationduring and after surgery. The study shows that ultrasound-guided miniPCNL for the treatment of complex kidney stones with 1 operation and minimal tracks is feasible if a good access is selected with a reasonable surgical strategy.
