Title: Comparative study of surgical therapeutic methods for upper urinary tract calculi
Abstract: Objective To study the application of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy,pneumatic lithotripsy,minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy,ureterolithotomy in upper urinary tract calculi. Methods The clinical data and therapeutic methods of 200 cases of upper urinary tract calculi were retrospectively reviewed. Results 2 weeks after therapeutic,the stone clearance rate of the ESWL,PL,MPCNL and UL group were 71.7%(43/60),80.4%(72/92),84.6%(11 /13) and 100%(35/35)respectively. Conclusion ESWL is the treatment of choice for pure kidney stones and for group Ⅰ stones in the upper and middle segment of ureteral,PL is the best for stones in the lower segment of ureteral,MPCNL is the best for complicated kidney stones,and UL can remove stone at one time and treat complications such as ureteral stricture at the same time. For complicated upper urinary tract calculi,the best results of treatment can be achieved by unifying multiple methods.
