Comparison of balloon dilation tract real-time monitored by ultrasound combined with endoscopic versus unitary ultrasound guided in percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a retrospective study
Abstract:Background: The establishment of tract is very important in percutaneous nephrolithotomy. At present, balloon dilatation is widely used, but ultrasound or fluoroscopy guided balloon dilatation tract can not achieve real-time monitoring of the whole process, which easily leads to failure of tract establishment. we use ultrasound combined with endoscopic technology to realize the whole process monitoring of tract establishment. The purpose is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the technology.Methods: Pa… Show more
