Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the third-generation super-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMP) for the treatment of kidney calculi with diameter of ≤2.5 cm and CT value of ≥700 Hu, and discuss the feasibility of adopting the technology in primary hospitals.Methods The clinical data of 64 patients with unilateral kidney calculi (CT value ≥700 Hu, diameter ≤2.5 cm) treated in the People’s Hospital of Leshan Central District between July 2017 and July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. After random assignment, 30 patients were treated with SMP and 34 were with mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL). The pre-, intra-, and post-operative data were compared and analyzed to evaluate the efficacy and safety.Results The unilateral lesion operations of both groups were successfully completed in the first phase. All patients were given double J tubes after operation, and there were no major complications such as post-operative hemorrhage and sepsis. There was no statistically significant difference in the post-operative hemoglobin decrease, post-operative immediate stone removal rate, post-operative stone removal rate after one month, or the rate of procalcitonin >0.1 μg/L between the two groups (P>0.05). The differences in the lithotripsy time [(29.63±6.28) vs. (25.21±5.19) minutes], post-operative hospital stay [(5.33±0.61) vs. (9.44±0.96) days], rate of indwelling renal fistula (3.3% vs. 50.0%), analgesic demand rate (10.0% vs. 58.8%), and postoperative infectious fever rate (6.7% vs. 26.5%) between SMP group and MPCNL group were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions SMP has the advantages of less trauma, low systemic inflammatory response syndrome incidence, less pain, quick rehabilitation, short hospital stay, tubeless after surgery, etc. It is worthy of extensive promotion in primary hospitals.
