Tubeless Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Without Reverse Insertion of a Ureteral Catheter

A Comparative Study of Tubeless Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy With or Without Reverse Ureteral Catheter Insertion

Sponsor

The First Affiliated Hospital of University of South China

Enrollment

200 participants

Start Date

Oct 7, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Urinary Calculi Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

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.

Interventions

PROCEDUREWithout reverse insertion of a ureteral catheter

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.
