Objective: Evaluation of result of the puncture technique into the renal calyces based on principle of right triangle in PCNL with fix C-arm and no the contrast.Materials and Methods: 102 cases of percutaneous nephrolithotomies have been performed at Department of Urology of Hue Central Hospital from Jan 2015 to Apr 2017 with no the contrast.Results: Mean age of patients was 47.2 ± 10.7 years (23 -69). Renal pelvis stones in 14 cases (13.73%), renal calyx stones in 15 cases (14.70%), staghorn stones in 29 cases (28.43%) and renal pelvis-calyx stones in 44 cases (43.14%). Hydronephrosis of grade I: 33 cases (32.35%), grade II: 36 cases (35.30%), grade III: 9 cases (8.82%), no hydronephosis: 24 cases (23.53%). Percutaneous renal access into inferior posterior of the kidney in 47 cases (46.08%), middle calyx 42 cases (41.17%) and superior calyx 13 cases (12.75%). Average time of puncture: 8 ± 18 seconds (fastest 3 seconds and slowest 67 seconds). Successful punture into calyx was 100%. No accidents in the technique.
Conclusions:The puncture technique into the renal calyces based on principle of right triangle in PCNL is a good, fast, exact and safe technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
