Clinical effect of flexible cystoscope lithotripsy combined with PCNL in the treatment of patients with renal calculi

Abstract

Objectives To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of percutaneous renal mirror (PCNL) combined with flexible cystoscope lithotripsy in the treatment of renal calculi. Methods 80 patients with kidney stones in our hospital were selected as the observation group (PCNL combined with flexible cystoscope lithotripsy), 80 patients with kidney stones underwent PCNL alone at the same period as the control group. Two groups of surgery-related indicators, concurrent disease and laboratory parameters were compared. Results There were no statistically significant differences in operative time, blood loss, tube-retained time, hospitalization time between the two groups (P>0.05). Stone clearance rate at I stage and after a month, reoperation rate in the observation group, were significantly higher than control group (P 0.05). The difference was not statistically significant in complication rate in the observation group and the control group (P>0.05). Conclusions PCNL combined with flexible cystoscope lithotripsy in the treatment of patients with kidney stones is better than alone PCNL, and it also has better security.
