Ultrasound-guided mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the treatment of upper urinary tract stones in children: A single-center evaluation.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-perc) for the treatment of upper urinary tract stones in children. We reviewed the records of 70 children with upper urinary tract stones who were treated with a mini-perc technique between July 2015 and April 2020. All puncture site selections and tract dilations were determined by Doppler ultrasonography.

Comparison of super-mini versus mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy for the treatment of upper urinary tract stones in children: a single centre experience.

Purpose: The efficacy and safety of super-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMP, 14 Fr) was compared with mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL, 16 Fr) for the treatment of upper urinary tract stones in children (< 14 years old).

Methods: Clinical data of 133 paediatric patients with upper urinary tract stones treated with SMP or MPCNL between May 2012 and May 2019 were retrospectively analysed. The patients were divided into the SMP and MPCNL groups.

Clinical application of super-mini PCNL (SMP) in the treatment of upper urinary tract stones under ultrasound guidance.

Purpose: To present the safety and efficacy of totally ultrasonography-guided Super-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMP) in the treatment of upper urinary tract stones both in children and adults.

Patients And Methods: We carried out SMP in 104 patients (including 48 children and 56 adults) with upper urinary tract stones between June 2015 and February 2017. All steps of renal access were performed by ultrasonography.

Super-mini PCNL (SMP): Material, indications, technique, advantages and results.

Objective: To introduce an emerging technique termed 'super-mini- percutaneous nephrolithotomy' (SMP) and describe its application in practice.

Methods: We described the technique of SMP in the treatment of renal stones with emphasis on the material, indications, technique procedure, advantages, and results.

Results: SMP refers to a 7 Ch.

Super-Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in the Treatment of Pediatric Nephrolithiasis: Evaluation of the Initial Results.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of super-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMP) in the treatment of pediatric kidney stones.

Patients And Methods: We reviewed the records of 111 children with renal stones treated with SMP technique in four different centers between September 2014 and September 2015. The indications for SMP treatment in all these kids were either previously failed shock wave lithotripsy or retrograde intrarenal surgery approaches, according to their parents' preferences.
