Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is how to operate

After successful anesthesia, the patient is placed in prone position or lateral position, and the probe is taken. Urine is collected. Make sure that the probe is located within the renal pelvis. Skin expansion is conducted under the guidance of zebra guide wire. When necessary, metal expander is used to expand to F24 or F21 standard operating channel. After that, ultrasonic or holmium laser lithotripsy is applied under the supervision of eyepiece. After lithotripsy, nephrostomy tube and internal drainage tube are routinely taken. Systemic anti-inflammatory therapy, observation of fistula urine color, patient's vital signs, regular removal of fistula and internal drainage tube are required after surgery.
