    Summary

    Percutaneous ultrasonic lithotripsy effectively removes kidney stones, achieving over 90% success. This minimally invasive procedure, aided by flexible nephroscopy, offers a safe and efficient treatment for renal calculi.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Context:

    • Percutaneous ultrasonic lithotripsy (PUL) is a technique for treating kidney stones.
    • Previous methods had limitations in stone removal efficacy and patient recovery.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous ultrasonic lithotripsy for renal calculus removal.
    • To identify key factors contributing to successful stone fragmentation and extraction.

    Summary:

    • A study of 32 renal calculus patients demonstrated high success rates with PUL.
    • The procedure, enhanced by nephrostomy access and adjuncts like flexible nephroscopy, achieved over 90% stone-free rates.
    • Post-operative bloody urine was transient, and no transfusions were required.

    Impact:
