OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to evaluate, the efficacy of surgical methods and the factors affecting the residual stone rate by scrutinizing retrospectively the @entity1 who had undergone renal stone surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Records of 109 cases of @entity1290 who had been surgically treated between January 2010, and July 2013 were reviewed. @entity1 were divided into three groups in terms of surgical treatment; open stone surgery, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) and @entity10747 ( @entity10747 ). @entity1 ' history, physical examination, biochemical and radiological images and operative and postoperative data were recorded. RESULTS: The @entity1 had undergone PNL (n=74; 67.9%), @entity10747 (n=22;20.2%), and open renal surgery (n=13; 11.9%). The mean and median ages of the @entity1 were 46  9, 41 (21-75) and, 42 (23-67) years, respectively. The mean stone burden was 2.6  0.7 cm(2) in the PNL, 1.4  0.1 cm(2) in the @entity10747 , and 3.1  0.9 cm(2) in the open surgery groups. The mean operative times were 126  24 min in the PNL group, 72  12 min in the @entity10747 group and 82  22 min in the open surgery group. The duration of hospitalisation was 3.1  0.2 days, 1.2  0.3 days and 3.4  1.1 days respectively. While the @entity10747 group did not need blood transfusion, in the PNL group blood transfusions were given in the PNL (n=18), and open surgery (n=2) groups. Residual stones were detected in the PNL (n=22), open surgery (n=2), and @entity10747 (n=5) groups. CONCLUSION: PNL and @entity10747 have been seen as safe and effective methods in our self application too. However, it should not be forgotten that as a basical method, open surgery may be needed in cases of necessity.
