Abstract：Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of electronic fexible ureteroscopy holmium laser lithotripsy in trea-ting renal stones in a solitary kidney.Methods:From March 2012 to August 2014,12 patients with a solitary kidney underwent electronic fexible ureteroscopy holmium laser lithotripsy.All patients received computed tomography to understand the location and size of the stones preoperatively.Preoperative urine culture were done and positive pa-tients were treated by sensitive antibiotics for three days.F7 double-J tube were inserted in all patients to dilate the u-reter for 2 weeks preoperatively.Factors such as operation duration,complications and stone-free rate (SFR)were analysed.Results:The mean age was 64 years (range,21-73 years).The mean stone size was (2.1±0.6)cm (range 1.6-3.2 cm).The mean operation time was 117 min (range 40-200 min).The SFRs was 83.3%.Systemic Inflam-matory response syndrome and urosepsis were respectively recorded in one patient and cured after active treatment. After one month follow-up,the preoperative and postoperative serum creatinine had statistical difference (P<0.05).Conclusions:Electronic fURS holmium laser lithotripsy is an effective and safe procedure with a high SFR and a lower rate of complication in treating renal stones in a solitary kidney.
