Abstract

Objective To summarize the experience of percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL) for staghorn renal calculi.Method The clinical data of 95 patients were retrospectively reviewed.There were 60 male patients and 35 female patients.The average age was 48.6 years.Result 105 procedures of PCNL were performed in 95 patients.The stone free rate was 72.7%(70/95) in the first procedure.17 patients(87/95) required a secondary procedure to become stone-free.The total free rate was 98.0%(93/95) after the procedure of ESWL.Conclusions PCNL is safe and effective for staghorn renal calculi,especially combines with ESWL.
