Abstract: | A total of 260 patients underwent treatment with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Staghorn calculi were found
in 32 cases. In carrying out ESWL for staghorn calculi, double pigtail stent was previously retained in principle. When the
ureter was occluded by stone street in case a fever of more than 38° C lasted for 4–5 days after the first treatment with
ESWL, percutaneous nephrostomy (PNS) was performed. In ESWL treatment alone a large number of shock waves were required, but
double pigtail stent and PNS were used in combination individually, and larger stones were treated by the same waves. When
combination therapy was used, hospital stay was short and the rate of remaining stones was low. Our therapeutic conclusions
are discussed. |
