Minipercutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has gained increased attention and also uptake in this setting owing to its efficacy and favourable safety profile compared to standard PCNL. This chapter outlines key pre-operative considerations, set up and positioning, stone fragmentation and exit strategy for ...
The criteria for using mini-track, mini-nephroscopy, mini-ultrasonic probe PCNL were based on (1) patients with stones resistant to ESWL or retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) treatment, (2) stone size ≥ 2.0 cm or anatomic abnormality of the collecting system. The exclusion criteria: ...
such as solitary kidney stones, horseshoe kidney stones, or sponge kidney stones [1]. For kidney stones larger than 2 cm in diameter, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) remains

Using the medium (17.5F) mini-PCNL set (Karl Storz), the stone was fragmented using dusting settings with a 230 m Moses fiber (0.3 J 脳 20-30 Hz; Moses Contact and Distance modes).Results The video demonstrates the capabilities of treating a lower pole stone with a dusting technique ...
Establishment of the renal access is one, if not the key point in the success of a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The puncture of the renal collecting system can be guided by ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, and a combination of both. The chapter explains the principles of using ultrasound ...
After calibration, the experimental flow rate was set to 12.0 mL/sec. Three 30-second trials assessing the flow were performed with each model. Computational fluid dynamic simulations (CFD) were completed to determine the speed and pressure profiles. RESULTS: In both models, as the incoming ...
Operation time in the um-PCNL set-up was longer compared to s-PCNL (p<0.001) and m-PCNL (p=0.011), whereas s-PCNL and m-PCNL did not differ significantly. Conclusion:m-PCNL showed less hemoglobin drop, but similar operation time and SFR when compared to s-PCNL. um-PCNL showed even...
