Objective To explore the perioperative nursing mode for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Methods A total of 866 patients with PCNL having undergone lithotripsy between January 2012 and December 2013 in our hospital were included in our study. Before surgery, they received position training, health education and psychological nursing. After surgery, patients received an integral medical wound care and pipeline management, as well as management of infectious shock and intercostal neuralgia. At the same time, we gave them dietary guidance and other health guidance. Results All the patients were successfully discharged from hospital. Postoperative infection rate was 2.4%, septic shock rate was 0.2%, bleeding rate was 2.2%, urinary leakage rate was 1.5%, the rate of pneumothorax was 0.6%, subcutaneous emphysema rate was 0.3%, and intercostal neuralgia rate was 0.6%. The average hospital stay was (11.2±2.8) days. Conclusion The innovative nursing mode and techniques have great significance on the success of PCNL surgery.
