    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To report and discuss the role of the treatment of ipsilateral renal and upper middle ureteral stones in patients by combing retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery with tubeless mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eleven patients associated with ipsilateral renal and upper middle ureteral stones underwent combing retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery with tubeless mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy after failure of shockwave or ureteroscopy lithotripsy. Their data were analyzed retrospectively including stone burden, perioperative complications and outcomes. RESULTS: All the patients underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy and tubeless mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy successfully. Surgical time ranged from 80 to 160 min with a mean of 118 min. The mean hospital stay was 4 days (3-7 days). The mean length of retroperitoneal urinary drainage was 3 days (2-6 days). There were minor complications in 3 (27.2%) patients. The stone-free rate was 82% (9 patients). Two patients had a residual calyceal fragment that was treated with shockwave lithotripsy. All of them were followed up for 3-24 months. Renal function was improved in different degree. CONCLUSION: In carefully selected patients, combining retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery with tubeless mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy can treat ipsilateral renal and upper middle ureteral calculi by a single procedure with advantages of high stone-free rate, safety, reliability, rapid recovery and less complications.
