Open surgery for kidney stones

  In recent years, with the development of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and endoluminal urology techniques, especially the application of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy and ureteroscopic lithotripsy, a breakthrough in the treatment of kidney stones has been achieved, and the use of open surgery in the treatment of kidney stones has been significantly reduced. In some stone treatment centers, open surgery accounts for only 1-5.4% of kidney stone cases. However, open surgery for stone extraction is still of great clinical importance in some cases.  I. Indications 1. There are contraindications to ESWL, URS and/or PNL as a treatment modality for kidney stones.  2.
