Comparison of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy combined with retrograde intrarenal surgery and multi-tract percutaneous nephrolithotripsy for octopus stone: A propensity score-matching study.

ABSTRACT: To compared the effectiveness and safety of single standard mini percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (SM-PCNL) combined with retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and multiple standard mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MSM-PCNL) in the treatment of octopus stone of 2 to 4 cm. The clinical data of SM-PCNL combined with RIRS and MSM-PCNL for octopus stone with a 2 to 4 cm diameter from October 2019 to December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively, and propensity score matching was used to screen patients. The matched patients were paired, and the operation time, complications, postoperative pain, tubeless rate, stone-free rate (SFR), and postoperative hospital stay were further compared between the 2 groups. 88 patients underwent SM-PCNL combined with RIRS (combined group), and 143 patients underwe
