Tubeless Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Without Reverse Insertion of a Ureteral Catheter
Sponsor: The First Affiliated Hospital of University of South China
Summary
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL) is a surgical method for upper urinary calculi. The advent of tubeless PCNL (without indwelling nephrostomy tube) has been proved to be safe and effective in reducing postoperative discomfort, shortening hospitalization time and reducing hospitalization costs. Traditional tubeless PCNL usually involves retrograde insertion of the ureteral catheter, which may cause many ureteral related surgical complications. However, there are few reports on tubeless PCNL without reverse ureteral catheter insertion. The goal of this study is to explore the safety and effectiveness of the tubeless PCNL without reverse ureteral catheter insertion.

Interventions
Without reverse insertion of a ureteral catheter
Traditional tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy usually need retrograde ureteral catheter insertion. Our intervention is that the tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy is executed without reverse insertion of a ureteral catheter.
