Abstract：Objective:To investigate the clinical effects,safety and economical efficiency differences in tran-surethral ureteroscope lithotripsy (URL),minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL)and retro-peritoneoscopic ureterolithotomy (RLU)in the treatment of complex upper ureteral calculi.Methods:150 patients with complex upper ureteral calculi were chosen in the period from June 2012 to June 2015 in our hospital and ran-domly divided into three groups:group A (n=50)receiving URL,group B (n=50)receiving MPCNL,and group C (n=50)given RLU.The perioperative clinical indicators,once disposable stone clearance rate,the post-operative complication incidence and the total treatment expenses among three groups were compared.Results:The operation time in group C was significantly longer than in group A and group B (P<0.05).The blood loss in group B was significantly less than in group A and group C (P<0.05).The once stone clearance rate in group B and group C was significantly higher than in group A (P<0.05).The postoperative complication incidence in group C was significantly lower than in group A and group B (P<0.05).The total treatment expenses in group C was significantly lower than in group A and group B (P<0.05).Conclusions:Compared with URL and MPCNL, RLU in the treatment of complex upper ureteral calculi can efficiently improve stone clearance effects,reduce the risk of postoperative complications and be helpful to lessen the financial burden.
