- Abstract
75 elderly patients with ureteral calculi, treated by Department of Urology in Zunyi County People's Hospital from 2008 to September 2010, were comparatively analyzed. calculi breaking success rate, calculi clearance rate, operation time, hospital stay and other aspect of the two treatment methods were observed. The results showed that one-time success rate of LL group was higher than that of PL group with significant difference; Clearance rate of LL group was significantly higher than that of PL group with significant difference. Operation time of LL group was significantly less than that of PL group with significant difference; comparative difference of hospital stay had no statistical significance. Comparative analysis showed that LL group was better than PL group in three aspects of one-time calculi breaking success rate, calculi clearance rate, operation time, etc., which is ideal calculi breaking means for treating ureteral calculi for the elderly.
