Abstract：Objective:To compare the safety and feasibility of the establishment of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL)tracts with sequential fascial dilatation vs.balloon dilatation.Methods:21 7 cases of PCNL from January 2012 to June 2014 were randomly divided into two groups:group A (n=125)and group B (n=92).The PCNL tract was established by sequential fascial dilatation and balloon dilatation in group A and group B respectively.The stone clearance rate,tract establishing time,operation time,blood loss and hospital expenses were recorded and com-pared.Results:All of the 21 7 cases were operated successfully.Balloon dilatation was significantly superior to se-quential fascial dilatation in shortening the tract establishing time (F =5 1 5.402,P =0.000)and reducing intraoper-ative blood loss (F =39.55 1,P =0.000),but gained a higher hospital expenses.Conclusions:Establishing the PC-NL tract with balloon dilatation is more safe than sequential fascial dilatation,and the feasibility unchanged.
