Improved nephrostomy tube can reduce percutaneous XXXX .

@entity548 is one of the most common and worrisome complications of post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). This study aimed at evaluating the safety, effectiveness of utilization of the absorbable hemostatic gauze cover renal tract for @entity548 of post-PCNL. The prospective study including 188 @entity1 with upper urinary tract calculi was carried out in the department of Urology at Linyi @entity1 's Hospital from November 2011 to September 2013. All @entity1 underwent PCNL procedures and they were divided into two groups randomly before the procedure. Group A (n=91) was indwelled a 16F catheter as nephrostomy tube at the end of the surgery, Group B (n=97) was indwelled a 14F catheter covered with absorbable hemostatic gauze for hemostasis. @entity190 was estimated based on the mass of hemoglobin in the draining liquid and urine during postoperative duration by HiCN method. The average @entity190 was 25.76  23.99 g for Group A, and 14.25  6.87 g for Group B, respectively, with statistical difference by comparison (P<0.05). The delta hemoglobin was 16.24  10.98 mmol/L for Group A, and 10.71  5.57 mmol/L for Group B, respectively, also with statistical difference by comparison (P<0.05). Nephrostomy channel applications of absorbable hemostatic gauze after PCNL can significantly reduce @entity86 . Utilizing the absorbable hemostatic gauze for post-PCNL @entity548 is safe, effective and feasible.
