Brief Summary

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL) is a surgical method for upper urinary calculi. The advent of tubeless PCNL (without indwelling nephrostomy tube) has been proved to be safe and effective in reducing postoperative discomfort, shortening hospitalization time and reducing hospitalization costs. Traditional tubeless PCNL usually involves retrograde insertion of the ureteral catheter, which may cause many ureteral related surgical complications. However, there are few reports on tubeless PCNL without reverse ureteral catheter insertion. The goal of this study is to explore the safety and effectiveness of the tubeless PCNL without reverse ureteral catheter insertion.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Changes of inflammatory indicators after surgery

    Pre- vs. post-operative blood leukocyte counts and neutrophil-ratio difference

    Hour 3 after the surgery

  • Changes in renal bleeding after surgery

    Pre- vs. post-operative difference in hemoglobin and hematocrit values

    Hour 3 after the surgery

  • Changes of renal-function after surgery

    Preoperative and postoperative blood creatinine difference

    Hour 3 after the surgery

  • Pain score after surgery

    According to the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) to evaluate the score. Scores range from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the highest pain.

    Hour 3 after the surgery

  • Incidence of pneumothorax and hydrothorax

    The rate of pneumothorax and hydrothorax after surgery

    Day 2 after the surgery

  • Incidence of ureteral stone street

    The rate of ureteral stone street after surgery

    Day 2 after the surgery

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Duration of operation

    during the procedure

  • Duration of hospital stay

    immediately after the discharge

  • Hospital costs

    immediately after the discharge

  • Stone-free rates

    Day 2 after the surgery

Study Arms (2)

Experimental group(group 1)

EXPERIMENTAL

Without reverse insertion of a ureteral catheter in tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Procedure: Without reverse insertion of a ureteral catheter

Control group(group 2)

NO INTERVENTION

Traditional tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy need reverse insert a ureteral catheter.

Interventions

Traditional tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy usually need retrograde ureteral catheter insertion. Our intervention is that the tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy is executed without reverse insertion of a ureteral catheter.
