Liao Liming

Abstract

Objective:To evaluate the effect of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy(mini-PCNL)in treatment of upper ureteral calculi.Methods:61 paitents underwent mini-percutaneous mephrolithotomy for proximal ureteral calculi were previwed and evaluated.Results:All the 61(100%)were rendered stone-free at one-stage session.The average operation time was 65 minutes.Estimated blood loss volume was 80ml,and the average hospitalization was 7.5 days.No obvious complication were observed.Conclusion:mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy is safe,effective and less trauma in treatment of upper ureteral calculi.
