Employing percutaneous nephrolithotomy to manage a complex renal calculus has always been challenging due to the blood transfusion requirement and the frequent necessity of using multiple access tracts. We report a novel treatment modality in the case of a 65-year-old male with a complex, large-volume renal calculus who was successfully treated by vacuum-assisted miniaturized endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery using the combination of a thulium fiber laser in retrograde fashion with a holmium:YAG laser in antegrade fashion. The kidney stone was entirely cleared, and the patient fully recovered with no adverse event.
由于需要输血以及经常需要使用多个穿刺通道,采用经皮肾镜取石术治疗复杂肾结石一直具有挑战性。我们报告了一种新的治疗方式,用于一名65岁患有复杂、大量肾结石的男性患者,该患者通过真空辅助微型内镜联合肾内手术成功治疗,采用逆行方式的铥光纤激光与顺行方式的钬激光联合使用。肾结石被完全清除,患者完全康复,无不良事件发生。
