One of the most effective ways we treat kidney larger stones is through a highly specialized procedure called a tubeless mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini PCNL). This minimally invasive surgery allows us to remove kidney stones through tiny incisions and provides patients with quicker and smoother recoveries, especially compared to ...

Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MINI PCNL) newer form of PCNL is called mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL) because it is performed with a miniaturized nephroscope. The minimal invasive percutaneous nephrolitholapaxy (MINI-PCNL), is …

2024年11月19日 · Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (per-kyoo-TAYN-ee-uhs NEF-roe-lih-THOT-uh-me) is a procedure used to remove kidney stones from the body when they can't pass on their own. "Percutaneous" means through the skin. The procedure creates a passageway from the skin on the back to the kidney.

PCNL is a well-established treatment option for patients with large and complex renal calculi. In order to decrease morbidity associated with larger instruments like blood loss, postoperative pain and potential renal damage, a modification of the technique of …

2023年7月19日 · Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (Mini PCNL) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove kidney stones. It involves accessing the kidney through a small incision made on the patient’s back, typically between 4 to 10 millimeters in size.

2022年2月11日 · Introduction: Standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (sPCNL) is recommended for renal stones over 2 cm. Mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) has also emerged as a promising technique in this setting.

2022年10月19日 · Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a surgical procedure to remove a kidney stone that’s too big to pass on its own or doesn’t respond to other treatments. You may feel nervous, but it’s a relatively safe and effective procedure.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is considered a first-choice treatment for renal stones >2 cm. The treatment modality results in the best stone-free rate (SFR) compared with other minimally invasive techniques, such as shock wave lithotripsy and …

We evaluated the surgical outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy using two different sizes of nephrostomy tracts in a large population. We found that the smaller tract might be a sensible alternative for patients with 20-40mm renal stones.

2023年6月22日 · By implementing Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (M-PCNL), which involves creating narrower tracts (≤ 18 Fr) to allow smaller scopes access to the kidney, parenchymal trauma and bleeding can be reduced [8]. This less invasive approach was established by Jackman et al. [9] and significantly improved the complexity profile of the PCNL procedure.
