In the 4 years of period, there were 798 inpatients which included 207 patients of urinary stone, Renal stone occupied 29% of urolithiasis. Pyelolithotomy was performed in 26 patients, nephrectomy in 12, nephrolithotomy in 11, extended pyelolithotomy in 7 and partial nephrectomy in one patient. The major reasons of nephrectomy were severely damaged kidney in 3 cases and vascular injury in 3 cases. Urine leakage over 15 days was not noted in any case. Massive bleeding occurred in 1 case after nephrolithotomy, which required subsequent nephrectomy on postoperative 12th day. No death was experienced among the cases."
