Abstract:Objective: To analyze the efficacy of percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) drainage in the treatment of upper urinary tract stones with infection at different timeing. Methods: Totally 102 patients with upper urinary tract calculi and infection in the hospital from October 2019 to October 2024 were divided into 2h group (n=42, PCN drainage within 2h after admission), 12h group (n=34, PCN drainage within 2~12h after admission) and 24h group (n=26, PCN drainage within 12~24h after admission) according to the different timing of PCN drainage. The surgical time, intraoperative blood loss and one-time puncture success rate, and changes of body temperature and infection-related indicators [white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT)] before surgery and at 3 days after operation were compared among the three groups. The infection control time, hospitalization time and complications in the three groups were recorded. Results: There were no statistical differences in surgical time, intraoperative blood loss and success rate of one-time puncture among the three groups (P>0.05). The hospitalization time in the 2h and 12h groups was shorter than that in the 24h group (P<0.05), but no statistical differences were observed in infection control time and hospitalization time between the 2h group and the 12 h group (P>0.05). At 3 days after surgery, the body temperature, WBC, CRP and PCT in the three groups were lower than those before surgery (P<0.05), and the above indicators in the 24h group were higher than those in the 2h group and the 12h group (P<0.05), but the above indicators were not statistically different between the 2h group and the 12h group (P>0.05). The complications revealed no statistical differences among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: PCN drainage within 12h after admission is effective in the treatment of patients with upper urinary tract calculi and infection, and it can effectively control infection and shorten hospitalization time.
