[Renal function after surgical treatment of stag-horned nephrolithiasis].

Renal function in patients with stag-horn nephrolithiasis was assessed after two surgical treatments--percutaneous nephrolitholapaxy (PCN L) and pyelonephrolithotomy. The function of the operated and contralateral kidneys was studied early and late after operation by parameters of blood biochemistry, Doppler investigation of renal parenchyma, dynamic nephroscintigraphy. Stabilization or improvement of blood biochemical indices was observed in 58 (70%) patients.

[Surgical treatment of coral nephrolithiasis: analysis of complications].

Coral nephrolithiasis (CN) patients treated surgically in Research Institute of Urology and hospital N 47 from 2005 to 2008 were divided into 5 groups by treatment: PCNL, PCNL+extracorporeal lithotripsy (EL), EL, open interventions, EL of the residual concrements after previous open operations. Most complications were observed after EL and they were caused by evacuation of many fragments. PCNL caused in some cases massive hemorrhage stopped by conservative methods.
