Objective: The objective of this study was to compare mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) performed by standard and Miniperc techniques in pediatric patients.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at our institution between January 2012 and December 2017. The outcomes of pediatric renal stones treated by mini-PCNL done by Miniperc and standard techniques were compared in terms of the drop in the hemoglobin, stone-free rate, and analgesic requirement in the first 24 h.
Results: A total of 57 children (age: 1-16 years), who underwent mini-PCNL by Miniperc equipment ( = 23) and standard equipment ( = 34), were included in this study. The postoperative mean drop in hemoglobin was significantly higher in mini-PCNL done by standard compared to the Miniperc technique. The stone-free rate was 95.65% in the Miniperc group and 94.12% in the standard mini-PCNL group. The need for analgesics was significantly lower in the Miniperc group compared to the standard mini-PCNL group ( = 0.0002). In the Miniperc group, the majority of the patients required only one dose of analgesics, whereas, in the standard mini-PCNL group, around 44% of the patients required three or more than three doses of analgesics to reduce postoperative pain.
Conclusion: Both the techniques were safe and efficacious in the management of pediatric renal stone and stone clearance. However, the Miniperc technique resulted in significantly less pain and a lower dosage of analgesics.

The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of transperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy (TPLU), retrograde flexible ureteroscopy (R-fURS), and mini-percutaneous antegrade flexible ureteroscopy (A-fURS) for treating large (≥ 15 mm) impacted proximal ureteral stones. A total of 105 adult patients were randomized into 3 equal groups: group A (35) patients underwent TPLU, group B (35) patients underwent R-fURS, and group C (35) patients underwent A-fURS. The initial stone-free rate was 100%, 68.

The super-pulsed thulium fiber laser (SP TFL) is a new alternative to high-power holmium laser for intracorporeal lithotripsy. The SP TFL has shown advantages in dusting regimes, but benefits in fragmentation regimes are less understood. The second-generation SP TFL introduces an advanced fragmentation pulse (AFP) sequence to maximize SP TFL's efficiency in fragmentation.

To evaluate the performance of a mathematical model to drive preoperative planning between RIRS and MiniPerc (MP) for the treatment of renal stones between 10 and 20 mm. Patients with a renal stone between 10 and 20 mm were enrolled. A mathematical model named Stone Management According to Size-Hardness (SMASH) score was calculated: hounsfield units (HU) χ stone maximum size (cm)/100.

The purpose was to do a study to compare infectious complications in patients operated for MiniPerc or Minimally invasive Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (MPCNL) using MIP and MPCNL with suction using Shah Superperc sheath for medium-sized renal stones less than 3 cm in size. The primary objective of this study is to compare the infectious complications and the secondary objectives are to compare stone-free rates, complication rates and operative times. A prospective randomized controlled trial with patients having proximal ureteral and renal stones of 10-30 mm size and planned for MPCNL done at a single institute.

Objective: The choice of lithotripter is an important part of planning in mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini perc) as the operating time is prolonged due to reduced sheath size and smaller working channel. Previous studies mostly reported the use of laser lithotripter for stone fragmentation while the literature on pneumatic lithotripter use in miniperc is scant.
Methods: In this study, we compared the efficacy and safety of the laser lithotripter (LL) vs pneumatic lithotripter (PL) in miniperc for small to medium-sized renal/upper ureteric stones (size: 1-2 cm).
