Recently, the hospital completed a difficult posterior laparoscopic nephrectomy and the patient is now discharged from the hospital. The patient, Mr. Li, 49 years old, was hospitalized in the cardiology department of the hospital 5 months ago due to hypertension. Routine ultrasound showed that he had left upper ureteral stones and severe hydronephrosis in the left kidney and multiple stones in the right kidney. After further systematic examination, nuclear radiography of kidney function confirmed that his left kidney had completely lost kidney function due to ureteral stones and long-term obstruction, and had to be removed. In view of the fact that Mr. Li had multiple stones in his right kidney, according to the treatment routine and principle, he should first deal with the right kidney stones, so Mr. Li was firstly performed the right kidney lithotomy at that time, and after he recovered well, he was hospitalized again to receive the left nephrectomy. According to the director of the hospital’s urology department, nephrectomy surgery is difficult, the previous routine is the implementation of open excision, which is often said to be “open”. In the past 10 years, with the progress of medical level, minimally invasive nephrectomy has been introduced into China and widely promoted. Minimally invasive nephrectomy is performed by making three to four 1cm-sized puncture holes in the patient’s waist and introducing laparoscopic surgical instruments into the patient’s body to perform nephrectomy. This minimally invasive surgery is more difficult, but the advantages are obvious: the damage of the surgery and the pain of the patient are greatly reduced (open surgery requires a large incision of about 15 to 20 cm in length in the patient’s lower back), while the recovery period of the patient is significantly shortened. According to the reporter, in the past 10 years, the hospital’s urology department has actively introduced and carried out a number of minimally invasive urological surgeries and techniques, including urological laparoscopy, many of which were first carried out in the Nanshan District. Especially since 2009, the department has increased its business volume and significantly improved its professional and technical level under the leadership of the discipline leader, which has been widely recognized by local residents.
