Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the surgical treatment of huge staghorn stone. Methods: The data of 68 cases treated with intrasinusal pyelolithotomy were analysed. Results: Lithotomy was successful in all cases with the average operation time 117 minutes. Blood transfusion during the procedure was required in 9 cases with an average of 450 ml. Postoperative examination with B ultrasound and KUB revealed residual stones in 6 cases, the diameters were less than 0.8 cm. Conclusions: The procedure for giant staghorn calculi is easy, safe, and effective to renal parenchyma intact.
