Percutaneous nephrolithotomy

  1. RIRS and mini-PCNL were similarly effective for high-density pediatric kidney stones
    Prospective randomized trial comparing flexible ureterorenoscopy and mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy for pediatric renal pelvic stones under 2 cm with high density, showing comparable efficacy.
  2. Comparison of Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy and Flexible Ureteroscopy for Treating 1–2 cm Single Stones in Solitary Kidney: Outcomes and Renal Function Impact
    Flexible ureteroscopy achieves comparable stone-free rates to mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy for 1-2 cm stones in solitary kidneys while maintaining superior safety and better renal function.
