Abstract:

Objective

To analyze the clinical effects and safety of ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URL) and minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (MPCNL) in the treatment of impacted upper ureteral calculi by using EMS system.

Methods

Ninety-six patients with impacted upper ureteral calculi were enrolled in the study from January 2014 to December 2016 in our hospital, and were divided into URL group and MPCNL group, with 48 patients in each group. The clinical effects and safety of the two groups were compared.

Results

The operative time and the hospital stay in URL group were (54±8) min and (3.6±0.7)d, respectively, which were shorter than that in MPCNL group (59±9) min and (5.6±0.8) d, respectively (P<0.05). The success rate in MPCNL was 100%, while it was 75% in URL group (P<0.05). The stone clearance rate in the 3rd day and 1 month after URL operation were lower than that in MPCNL group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of ureteral perforation, blood transfusion, fever, and hematuria between the two groups (P>0.05).

Conclusion

MPCNL using EMS system is an efficacious and feasible approach for the treatment of impacted upper ureteral calculi due to the advantage of high calculi clearance rate, efficacy, and safety compared to URL.
