Article Synopsis
- - Over the last 30 years, miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) has gained popularity due to its potential to reduce complications compared to standard procedures, but there's still debate over best practices and management strategies that hinders wider use.
- - An international panel of urology experts developed a consensus document on mPCNL to provide a comprehensive framework for practice, which included reviewing literature, identifying research gaps, and conducting surveys to gather expert opinions.
- - The study revealed 58 key questions on mPCNL practices, and consensus was achieved on 30 questions, affirming mPCNL as an effective technique for treating upper urinary tract stones in both adults and children.
