ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Upper urinary tract stones are very common in China. However, there are few clinical reports on the impact of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) on patients with inflammatory factors, and because of the different levels of technology, some minimally invasive surgeries have frequent postoperative complications.
Research motivation
The authors studied the mPCNL on upper urinary tract stones and its influence on the renal function of patients.
Research objectives
This study aimed to observe the therapeutic effect of mPCNL on upper urinary tract stones.
Research methods
The authors selected patients as research subjects and were divided into the PCNL group and the mPCNL group.
Research results
The Qmax level of the mPCNL group was higher than that of the PCNL group.
Research conclusions
mPCNL has a good therapeutic effect on upper urinary tract stones.
Research perspectives
The purpose of this study was to further confirm the therapeutic effect of mPCNL in upper urinary calculi.
