Abstract:Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of ultra-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (UMP) for patients with 1.5~2.5 cm diameter renal and ureteral calculi.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 60 patients with upper ureteral calculi of 1.5~2.5 cm in diameter from June 2018 to June 2020, all the patients were treated with UMP. The operation time, hospitalization time, surgical success rate, stone removal rate, complication rate and use of additional analgesics were estimated.Results All the 60 patients in this group had a first-stage access and successfully completed the operation, none of the patients underwent single-channel surgery, all the patients did not receive blood transfusion, no adjacent organ injury (intestinal tract, liver and spleen), no pneumothorax occurred; There were 3 cases (5.0%) of urinary extravasation or retroperitoneal perfusate with obvious symptoms, all of which were treated with conservative treatment; 5 cases (8.3%) with fever (body temperature is higher than 38℃) improved after symptomatic treatment, no septic shock; The operation time was 35~98 min, with an average of (56.1 ± 21.3) min; Postoperative hospital stay was 3 ~ 8 d, with an average of (4.1 ± 1.8) d; Postoperative evaluation of stone removal rate was 85.0% (51/60), the rate of stone removal was 91.7% (55/60) in the first month after surgery; The postoperative analgesic use rate was 15.0% (9/60).Conclusions Patients with 1.5 ~ 2.5 cm diameter kidney and upper ureteral calculi, UMP is one of the safe and effective treatment methods, which is worthy of clinical promotion..
