Zhang Cheng-guo

Abstract

Objective To assess the effect and safety of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL) in treating complicated upper ureteral calculi.Methods 46 cases of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy for complicated upper ureteral calculi were reviewed.Results 46 stone-free cases were achieved with one time and one-tunnel operation without severe complications.Conclusion Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a safe and efficient treatment option for the complicated upper ureteral calculi.
