Abstract:Abstract: Objective?To investigate the safety and clinical value of F4.8 visual needle-type nephrolithotomy in treatment of renal pelvic stones.?Methods?Retrospective analysis was conducted of clinical data of 12 patients with renal pelvic stones treated with F4.8 platinum vertical needle-needle nephrolithotomy from March 2016 to March 2019, including 7 males and 5 females. The mean age was (38.4?±?12.6) years old, the diverticulum was located in 7 cases of left kidney, 5 cases of right kidney, including 5 cases of supraventricular calculi, 3 cases of renal diverticulum calculi, 4 cases of inferior tibiofibular calculi, and the mean maximum diameter of diverticulum was (21.3?±?5.2) mm, the average maximum diameter of the stone was (18.3?±?4.2) mm. Three patients underwent extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) before operation. During the operation, the percutaneous renal channel was used to establish a percutaneous renal channel.?Results?All the 12 patients underwent single-channel operation. The average operation time was (54.4?±?23.3)?min, and the postoperative hospital stay was (6.8?±?2.1)?d. In 8 patients, the hemoglobin concentration decreased and the mean hemoglobin decreased (9.8?±?4.3) g/L. In 12 cases, the diverticulum tube was found and dilated, and 1 patient developed fever after operation. The patients did not have blood pneumothorax and perirenal tissue damage. On the third day after surgery, the urinary plain film was reviewed and the stone removal rate was 100.0%. Ten patients were reexamined 4 to 10 months after surgery. In 8 patients, the diverticulum was basically collapsed. In 2 cases, the volume of the diverticulum was reduced by 50.0%. There was no recurrence of diverticulum stones.?Conclusion?The use of F4.8 visual needle-type nephrolithotomy for the treatment of renal pelvic stones is safer and more effective. The establishment of percutaneous renal passage has the advantages of high success rate, less bleeding, less trauma, and quick recovery after surgery. It is worth further promotion in clinical practice.
