    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Nephrolithiasis Treatment

    Background:

    • Percutaneous nephrostomy is a common urological procedure.
    • Urinary tract stones pose a significant clinical challenge.
    • Traditional open stone removal can be invasive with longer recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous stone extraction.
    • To assess the success rates for different stone locations (pelvicalyceal vs. ureteral).
    • To compare patient recovery time with open surgical procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Over 200 patients underwent percutaneous stone extraction.
    • Utilized the percutaneous nephrostomy tract as the primary access route.
    • Employed grasping forceps, baskets, and ultrasonic lithotripsy for stone removal.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully removed 95% of pelvicalyceal stones.
    • Achieved an 80% success rate for ureteral stones.
    • Reported a low incidence of complications.
    • Patients demonstrated quicker return to work post-procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous stone extraction is a highly effective treatment for urinary tract stones.
    • The procedure offers significant advantages in terms of stone clearance and patient recovery.
    • Minimally invasive percutaneous approach is a favorable alternative to open surgery.
