Abstract：Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of super mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMPCNL) in the treatment of upper urinary tract calculi treatment.Methods: The clinical data of 26 patients with upper urinary tract calculi treated by SMPCNL in our hospital from July 2015 to December were analyzed retrospectively.Results: SMPCNL was performed successfully on 26 patients.No heavy bleeding and bacterial infection occurred in any patient.The average operation time was (28.6±9.3) min,the average hemoglobin level before operation was (128.3±15.6) g/L,and decreased to (119.7±11.6) g/L after the operation.The urinary catheter was removed one day after the operation,and the mean postoperative hospital stay was (3.5±1.3) days.Conclusions: The clinical value of SMPCNL in the treatment of upper urinary tract calculi is significant,with advantages as small wound,less blood loss,no nephrostomy tube placement,rapid recovery and shorter hospital stay.It is recommended to practice in primary level hospitals.
