Introduction: Associating minipercutaneous nephrolithotomy and retrograde flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) is called Mini Endoscopic Combined Intra-Renal Surgery (miniECIRS). It's a safe and efficient technique, also in children.
Material And Methods: The video describes miniECIRS in a 12 month-old boy with an infectious pelvic left stone (16 mm) and multiple caliceal stones. The UAS used was a 10FR and the percutaneous access was a 14Fr with Clear-Petra® sheath.
Results: The operative time was 180 min and blood losses were virtually absent. There were no intra- or post-operative complications and the patient was discharged at the 5th day. After 1 month, double J was removed having a stone free status.
Conclusions: MiniECIRS with endoview puncture is a safe and efficient technique when performed by experienced hands. Therefore, it is an alternative to consider for the treatment of complex lithiasis in the pediatric population.
