To Explore the Effect of Flexible Ureteroscope Holmium Laser Lithotripsy and Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in the Treatment of Patients with Kidney Stones
Objective: To observe the effect of flexible ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the treatment of patients with kidney stones. Methods: 62 patients with kidney stones in our hospital (from August 2023 to October 2024) were randomly divided into an observation group (31 cases) treated with flexible ureteroscope holmium laser lithotripsy and a control group (31 cases) treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Observe surgery-related indicators, stone clearance rate, stress indicators, complication rate and quality of life. Results: Compared with the control group, the observation group had better surgery-related indicators, higher stone clearance rate, lower levels of stress indicators, lower incidence of complications, and higher quality of life score, p < 0.05. Conclusion: Flexible ureteroscopy holmium laser lithotripsy can achieve better surgical results in patients with kidney stones, improve stone clearance rate, reduce stress response, reduce the incidence of complications, and improve quality of life. It is superior to percutaneous nephrolithotomy and is worth learning from.
