Abstract:Objective To discuss the effectiveness, safety and convenience of the wireless ultra-high-definition endoscopic system in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).Methods Selected 74 patients with kidney stone from May to July 2021, they were divided into two groups: linear endoscope group (n = 38, PCNL using traditional linear endoscope system) and non-linear endoscope group (n = 36, PCNL using wireless UHD endoscope system). The inclusion criteria were 18 ~ 70 years old, 20 ~ 40 mm kidney stones, and normal renal function. Compare the effectiveness and safety of the operation, and evaluate the difference in operation convenience between the two groups.Results All PCNL was successfully completed. The operation time, hemoglobin drop, complication rates, the postoperative hospital stay and the stone clearance rate of the two groups were (44.45 ± 12.04) and (43.78 ± 10.11) min (P = 0.797), (10.05 ± 3.45) and (9.78 ± 4.24) g/L (P = 0.760), 47.4%和52.8%(P = 0.642), (5.32±1.25) and (5.19 ± 1.04) d (P = 0.652), 89.5% and 91.7% (P = 0.747), the differences were not statistically significant.Conclusion The wireless ultra-high-definition endoscopic system was safe and effective when used in PCNL. Compared with the traditional endoscopic system, it has no restrictions on the light source line and camera cable line, and more convenient in operation. It is worthy of popularization and application in PCNL.
