Abstract
A retrospective analysis of results of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PNLT) for corallike nephrolithiasis in lithotripter "Swiss LithoClast ® Master" and transurethral nephrolithotripsy (TUNLT). In the period 20072010 167 PNLT and 11 TUNLT were performed. Complete elimination at PNLL was achieved in 83.2% of patients, residual concretions – in 16,8% of cases, with complete elimination TUNLT – 36,4%, residual concretions – 63,6%. In 3% of patients needed for the complete elimination of the implementation of additional percutaneous accesses, while 12.6% of the patients was necessary to repeat PNLT. Complications from PNLT + DLT developed in 30,2% of cases, and when the TUNLT + DLT – in 18,2%. Percutaneous technology in comparison to open surgery with corallike nephrolithiasis can significantly shorten the postoperative rehabilitation period and be choice method of the treatment due to its high efficiency and less traumatic.
