Abstract :
Purpose: We aimed to present the data on totally tubeless nephrolitotomy (PNL) outcomes undergone in our clinic. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 140 patients undergone totally tubeless PNL in our clinic between January 2010 and December 2012.Results: Mean patient age was 47,84 (5-73). Mean operative time was 88,8 (45-110) minutes where mean stone area was 375,3 (110-175) mm2 . 92,8% was our stone free rate. Remaining 10 patients had undergone ureterorenoscopy for ureteral stones. Two patients having non-opaque stones had residual kidney stones and treated by SWL. 8 patients (%5,7) needed blood transfusion, 2 patients needed perirenal hematoma and treated conservatively. No patients needed additional treatment or encountered vascular complications. One patient encountered serozal colon injury and treated conservatively.Conclusion: With regard to patient comfort, shorter hospital stay, low analgesic requirement, totally tubeless PNL gained popularity. We believe totally tubeless PNL may be used in suitable cases.
