Methods of surgical treatment of urolithiasis in modern urological practice

Abstract

In connection with the introduction of endoscopic surgery and minimally invasive methods in modern urological practice, there is a tendency for reduction of upfront surgeries, which can significantly improve the patients’ quality of life,reduce recovery time in the postoperative period and decrease the percentage of complications in the first 5 years after surgery. The article presents a literature review of modern methods of surgical treatment of urolithiasis with calculi localization in the kidneys. When choosing methods of surgical treatment of urolithiasis, it is necessary to take into account the clinical features of the patient and the characteristics of the calculus itself: the size, shape, calculus composition, the presence of concomitant metabolic disorders and diseases associated with stone formation, infectious complications, the state of urodynamics and anomalies of the urinary tract.
