    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Percutaneous nephro-ureterolithotomy successfully removed kidney and ureteral stones in 92% of 175 patients. This minimally invasive procedure offers high stone clearance rates and shorter hospital stays for urolithiasis treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Context:

    • 175 cases of percutaneous nephro-ureterolithotomy (PNU) were analyzed over 33 months.
    • Urolithiasis management traditionally involves open surgical procedures.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of percutaneous nephro-ureterolithotomy for kidney and ureteral stones.
    • To assess the stone-free rates and patient recovery associated with PNU.

    Summary:

    • Complete stone removal was achieved in 161 cases (92%).
    • Including cases with minor residual fragments, the success rate reached 99%.
    • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, utilizing various stone destruction techniques, is a less invasive alternative.

    Impact:

    • PNU demonstrates high success rates for complex stone removal.

  • This technique offers reduced invasiveness and shorter hospital stays compared to conventional surgery.
  • PNU shows potential to become a primary treatment modality for urolithiasis.
