- Abstract
Background: PCNL is standard surgical intervention for patients with medium and large size kidney stones. The aim of this paper is to asses efficency of this technique in patients with lithyasis on single kidney. Material and methods: Group I:14 patients with PCNL for voluminous kidney stones(over 20 mm diameter) on single kidney, admitted during January 2013-April 2016. Group II: 14 patients randomly selected witch we perform PCNL for kidney stones(over 20mm diameter), but with normal function on both kydneys. All this patients underwent a single PCNL procedure. Results: Preoperative average lenght was 1.4 days for the first group and 1.1 days for the second group. Postoperative care duration and hospitalisation period was 4.3 days for group I and 3.4 days for group II. No transfusion was required. All patients was stone free at the end of the surgery. Statistical analysis of this 2 groups (GraphPad) did not show a statisticaly representative difference(p=0.45) between the 2 groups over the period of hospitalization or risk, risk of bleeding or stone free rate. Conclusions: Even if the PCNL on single kidney can be a potencial anxious intervention for the surgeon, the resilts are similar with the intervention when both kidneys are functional.
