If the patient has kidney stones and is treated with minimally invasive surgery, there are several risks: first, the ureter is too thin for ureteroscopy to enter, resulting in failure of the operation; second, because minimally invasive surgery requires the insertion of a lithotripsy tube into the urinary tract, it may damage the mucous membrane of the urinary tract and even cause perforation of the urinary tract. Third, if aseptic procedures are not performed properly, it may cause the pipeline to carry pathogens into the urinary tract, which greatly increases the risk of urinary tract infection. Fourth, it may cause patients to show recurrence of kidney stones in a short time, mainly because minimally invasive surgery does not completely remove small stones in the kidney, which may cause recurrence after surgery.
