Core Tip
Core Tip: Upper urinary tract calculi formation is a common clinical urinary system disease. In recent years, with the development of minimally invasive technology, surgical treatment has played an important role in treating upper urinary calculi, causing less trauma to patients and mild stress responses. However, there are few clinical reports on the impact of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) on patients with inflammatory factors, and because of the different levels of technology, some minimally invasive surgeries have frequent postoperative complications. The purpose of this study was to further confirm the therapeutic effect of mPCNL in upper urinary calculi.
