Abstract
THE AIM of the investigation was to establish the character and frequency of complications after endovideosurgical treatment of diseases of the upper urinary tracts, to determine the modes of their liquidation and measures of prophylactics. PATIENTS AND METHODS. The complications appearing in patients operated on by the endovideosurgical method were analyzed. There were 224 operations including 51 nephropexies, 111 operations for liquid formations in the retroperitoneal space, 17 nephrectomies, 24 operations for the reestablishment of patency of the pyeloureteral anastomosis, 21 operations in patients with urolithiasis. RESULTS. 7 complications and 9 conversions of the access were registered. In 2 patients (0.9%) reoperations had to be made. The mechanisms of the appearance, frequency and character of the complications, causes of the conversions arising from the endovideosurgical treatment of the upper urinary tracts were found out. The results obtained are as a whole similar to those described in the literature. CONCLUSION. The using of endovideosurgical techniques in operations on the upper urinary tracts decreases the total number of complications and reduces their severity.
