Comparison of standard-percutaneous nephrolithotomy combined ultrasonic lithotripsy system and mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy combined high-power holmium laser for staghorn calculus: A retrospective comparative study
Abstract:Purpose To compare the outcomes of standard-percutaneous nephrolithotomy combined ultrasonic lithotripsy system(s-PCNL+ULS) and mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy combined high-power holmium laser(m-PCNL+hHL) for the treatment of staghorn calculus.
Methods The data of patients who underwent PCNL for the treatment of staghorn calculus were retrospectively reviewed between 2019 and 2022 from the second hospital of Tianjin medical university. The nephrostomy tracts were dilatated to 24 F in standard PCNL and 16-18… Show more
