Title: Percutaneous ureteroscope lithotripsy with pneumatic power (reports of 58 cases)
Abstract: Objective To explore the safety and clinical efficacy of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy with pneumatic power in which ureteroscope was instead for treatment of renal calculi. Methods Between June 2007 and July 2008,58 cases with renal calculi (1.8-3.5 cm) underwent percutaneous ureteroscope lithotripsy with pneumatic power. The datum were analyzed retrospectively. Re- sults The rate of primary stone clearance was 79.81%(46/58).6 cases with larger retained stones underwent percutaneous ureteroscope lithotripsy with pneumatic power successfully. 3 cases with larger than 0.5 cm stone underwent extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy. 3 cases with smaller than 0.5 cm stones weren’t cleaned up.After three months, tomography and IVP were checked, all the stones were cleared. Mild hydronephrosis in 25 cases disappeared. Moderate or severe hydronephrosis in 26 patients were improved signifi- cantly. The mean operative time was 65 min (range:30-100 min). The mean intraoperative blood loss was 100 ml, without serious complications as injury of intestinal. Conclusion Percutaneous ureteroscope lithotripsy with pneumatic power is a procedure with less invasion, less blood loss, higher successful rate and fewer complications.
