[Combination of minimally invasive technologies in the surgery of nephrolithiasis].
Overall 62 patients coral calculi underwent percutaneous nephrolithotripsy and distant shock-wave lithotripsy (DSWL). Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy as monotherapy was effective at 47 (75.8%) patients. At 15 (24.2%) patients the residual calculi were fragmented with DSWL. Obtained positive results permit to recommend percutaneous nephrolithotripsy both as monotherapy and in combination with DSWL for the treatment of patients with coral nephrolithiasis.
