Objective: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and tubed PCNL by using small bore nephrostomy tube (12Fr) in children for the management of nephrolithiasis.
Material And Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of 35 children where tubed PCNL (Group 1) was done in 18, and tubeless PCNL (group 2) in 17 patients from January 2010 to December 2016. Charts were reviewed for age, mass, stone size, operative time, hospital stay and stone-free rates. These variables were compared between the two groups. SPSS version 21 was used for data analysis. The data were shown as mean±standard deviation for continuous variables. Categorical variables were presented in percentages.
Results: There is no difference in terms of age, stone sizes, operative times, hospital stays, stone-free rates and post-PCNL complications between the two groups (p>0.05). The mean drop in hemoglobin level was 0.7±0.1 g/dL and 1.3±0.2 g/dL in Groups 1 and 2, respectively (p=0.01).
Conclusion: Tubeless PCNL in children is a safe option in well selected cases.

The tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is highly favored by endourological urologists for its advantages in patient experience and length of hospital stay. However, there is currently no guideline or consensus that precisely describes tubeless PCNL. This study explores tubeless PCNL from two aspects: patient selection and technical improvements.

Background: Lower calyceal anatomy makes the stone clearance a difficult task across all treatment formats. Improvement in optics and miniaturization of instruments have offered an effective and safer alternative to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The study was conducted to compare the efficacy and complications associated with mini-PCNL vs standard-PCNL.

Introduction: Traditional Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) typically involves the retrograde placement of a ureteral catheter. However, this procedure can present additional risks in pediatric patients.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 10-year-old boy, weighing 33 kg, diagnosed with a right upper ureteral stone complicated by hydronephrosis and urosepsis.

Purpose: The external ureteral catheter (EUC) and double-J stent (DJ-stent) are frequently used for drainage in tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). This study aims to compare the outcomes and effectiveness of these two methods.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a detailed literature search using relevant key words on Google Scholar, Europe PMC, Medline, and Scopus databases.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of total tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) without retrograde insertion of a ureteral catheter for the treatment of kidney stone patients without hydronephrosis.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study at a tertiary care medical center was conducted from August 2019 to April 2023. Kidney stone patients diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) without significant hydronephrosis were randomly assigned to two groups: total tubeless PCNL without retrograde insertion of a ureteral catheter (group 1) and traditional PCNL (group 2).
