Effect of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treatment of recurrence of kidney stones after open operation

Abstract

Objective To explore the curative effect of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treatment of recurrence of kidney stones after open operation. Methods 56 patients with postoperative recurrence of renalcalculi were retrospectively reviewed. They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group. The observation group was treated by minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy, while the control group received the open operation. The stone clearance rate, operation time and hospitalization time of the two groups were compared. Results The stone clearance rate in the observation group was 92.86%,which was significantly higher than 64.29% of the control group(χ2= 11.37,P<0.05); The average operation time in the control group was(131.8±8.9)min, which was more than(92.5±5.4)min of the observation group; The average hospital stay in the control group was(19.7±3.2)days, which was more than(10.4± 2.6)days of the observation group, the differences were statistically significant(t= 16.38,17.25,all P< 0.05). Conclusion Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy can improve the stone clearance rate in treatment of recurrent renal calculi after open operation, which can shorten the operation time and hospital stay, it is worth the clinical promotion Key words: Nephrolithotomy, Percutaneous; Operation; Kidney stones
