| Summary: | Renal calculus is a common urolithiasis, and PCNL and FURL have already become the most
commonly used methods of minimally invasive surgery. For treatment of simple renal pelvis
and calyx stones, FURL has slightly lower stone-free rate than PCNL but with less blood
loss, shorter hospital stay and less surgical trauma. PCNL combined with FURL treatment of
staghorn calculi can reduce the number of puncture channels, improve the stone-free rate and
reduce postoperative complications. During the treatment of calyceal diverticulum calculi,
PCNL has the obvious advantage in treating middle renal calyx latter group stones and bottom
renal calyx diverticulum stones, and as for treatment of middle renal calyx front group stones
and upper renal calyx stones, FURL shall be the preference. It is thus clear that flexible
ureteroscope couldn’t completely replace the percutaneous nephroscope, and complementary
combination of the two is the future direction of development of minimally invasive surgery for
renal calculus. |
