Abstract:Objective: To compare the safety and clinical effects of the flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy vs. percutaneous nephrolithotomy lithotripsy for the management of renal stones 2 cm or greater. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of 60 patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy or flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy in our hospital from March 2012 to March 2015. In this study 30 patients were given flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy, and 30 patients were subjected to percutaneous nephrolithotomy treatment. The operative time, stone clearance rate, hospitalization time and complication rate were compared. The intragroup comparison was done by t-test, and a probability (P) value of less than 0.05 was taken to indicate statistical significance. Results: In flexible ureteroscopy group and percutaneous nephrolithotomy group the stone diameter was (2.0±0.5) and (2.1±0.4) cm (P>0.05), operative time was (58.4±7.7) min and (39.4±7.5 ) min, hospitalization time was (7.3±1.6) days and (14.6±1.5) days, and the complication rate was 10.0% and 6.7% respectively. Conclusions: In comparison to percutaneous nephrolithotomy lithotripsy, the flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy enjoys a minimal trauma and low complication rate. The flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy is an alternative treatment in the management of renal stones 2 cm or greater.
