    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    False recurrence of upper urinary tract stones after surgery was common (12.5%). Accurate intraoperative localization and surgical techniques can reduce residual stones to below 10%.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Radiology
    • Surgical Stones Management

    Background:

    • Upper urinary tract stones pose a significant clinical challenge.
    • Historically, high rates of residual stones post-nephrolithotomy have been observed.
    • Accurate assessment of stone recurrence is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the incidence of false recurrence of upper urinary tract stones.
    • To identify factors contributing to residual stones after surgery.
    • To discuss methods for preventing residual stones and improving surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of immediate postoperative X-rays from 175 patients operated on between 1925 and 1955.
    • Analysis of X-rays from an additional 130 patients to assess stone passage or residual presence.

  • Calculation of false recurrence and residual stone rates.

    • Main Results:

    • An initial false recurrence rate of 22% was observed in 175 patients.
    • The adjusted false recurrence rate across 305 patients was 12.5%.
    • The incidence of residual stones after nephrolithotomy was 30%.

    Conclusions:

    • A significant rate of false recurrence occurred due to residual stones.
    • Accurate intraoperative localization of stones is critical for prevention.
    • Implementing specific radiographic and surgical adjuvant techniques can reduce false recurrence rates to under 10%.
