Introduction: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedure performed with adult-sized instruments in pediatric cases with staghorn kidney stone. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of 94 percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedures performed during 15 years in a single center for 82 pediatric patients with staghorn calculi using adult-sized instruments (24-Fr nephroscope). Stone free status was defined as complete clearance of the stones or the presence of insignificant residual stones of <3 mm in diameter. Results: The mean age was 108 ± 53 months (range, 14–180 months). There were 39 patients (48%) with complete staghorn stones and 43 cases (52%) with partial staghorn. We fulfilled 91.4% of operations through a single access. The stone free rate was 86.6% after one percutaneous nephrolithotomy session. In total, seven patients referred for shock wave lithotripsy and four cases were scheduled for the second percutaneous nephrolithotomy session. Fever occurred in 18 patients (21%) and bleeding requiring transfusion in four children (5%). Prolonged leakage from nephrostomy site requiring anesthesia for double J stent placement occurred in one patient. No grade IV or V Clavien complication occurred. Conclusion: The success rate and complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy with adult-size instruments in pediatric patients are acceptable.

Background We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic pyelolithotomy (LPL) versus percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for treating renal stones larger than 2 cm. Methods We searched the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, SinoMed, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases for studies that compared the surgical outcomes of LPL and PCNL. We conducted a meta-analysis of the retrieved studies, expressed as weighted mean difference or risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Results We included 25 studies (1831 patients). LPL was associated with a significantly higher stone-free rate, lower rates of blood loss, complementary treatment, blood transfusion, and complications, and less reduction in hemoglobin level compared with PCNL. LPL and PCNL were similar in terms of duration of hospital stay, conversion rate, changes in glomerular filtration rate and creatinine level, and mean time of postoperative analgesia. However, LPL was associated with a longer operation time than PCNL. Conclusion LPL appears to be more effective and safer than PCNL in patients with large renal stones, by increasing the stone-free rate and reducing blood loss, complementary treatment, blood transfusion, and complications compared with PCNL. LPL may thus be a useful modality for treating patients with large renal stones.

Abstract Background Urolithiasis has a well documented common occurrence in the general population. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), has prevailed over other more morbid procedures, like open surgeries in the management of such stones PNL in complex renal stones is a challenging procedure because it requires considerable experience in gaining percutaneous tracts, performing delicate and judicious intrarenal manipulations, mastering all techniques of intracorporeal stone disintegration, and weighing the benefits of complete stone clearance against the risks of complications. Aim of the Work GSS and Nephrolithometric Nomogram. Scoring system in predicting PCNL outcomes. The ability of the GSS and STONE score to correlate with the post-operative change in the quality of life. Patients and Methods In a non-randomized prospective study we evaluated the two scoring systems Guy’s and S.T.O.N.E. nephrolithometry scoring systems in predicting the success rate of PCNl and the quality of life. This study included 100 patients with renal stones who were scheduled for PCNL at El Demerdash University Hospitals and Nasser institute hospital in the period from April 2017 to October 2018. Results Our study included 100 patients (34 were female, 66 were male) with a mean age of 46.16 (range from 28 to 68). The mean GUY score was 1.57± 0.73 and the mean STONE score was 5.76± 1.19.the overall stone free rate was 89% with a complication rate of 18% with a mean stone burden &lt;400 mm.GUY and STONE score were able to predict SFR and complications after PCNL. Conclusion Both GSS and S.T.O.N.E Nephrolithometry Score can be used to stratify the complexity of renal stone before PCNL to predict the stone clearance and complication. Both can be valuable tools for providing uniformity for comparison of outcome, proper planning of the surgery and preoperative counseling of the patient.

Objectives: To report our single center experience in comparing mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy versus flexible ureterorenoscopy for management of renal stones up to 2 cm in anomalous kidneys. Materials and methods: Records of the last 30 patients with stones less than 2 cm in anomalous kidney treated by mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy were reviewed and compared to last 30 patients treated by flexible ureterorenoscopy. Results: Mean stone size was significantly higher in the minipercutaneous nephrolithotomy group (17.90 mm) than in flexible ureterorenoscopy group (14.97mm) (p < 0.001). Mean operative time (80.33 min vs 56.43 min) and fluoroscopy exposure time (4.49 min vs 0.84 min) were significantly higher in the mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy group than in the flexible ureterorenoscopy group (p < 0.001). The mean post-operative drop in hemoglobin concentration was significantly higher in the mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy group (0.47 gm versus 0.2 gm) (p < 0.001). Stone free rate after 12 weeks follow up was not statistically significant between the 2 groups (90% in minipercutaneous nephrolithotomy vs 80% in flexible ureterorenoscopy) (FEp = 0.472).Conclusions: Both modalities were found to be safe and effective for treatment of stones less than 2 cm in anomalous kidneys.

Background: We aimed to compare the Guy’s stone score and STONE nephrolithometry score and assess their predictive accuracy for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) outcomes.  Methods: A total of 100 patients, who underwent PCNL between Jan 2018 and Dec 2018 were included in the study. All patients were evaluated with computerized tomography (CT) scan preoperatively and scores were calculated. Patient demographic characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative variable were evaluated. The relationship between the Guy’s and STONE scores, and their prediction for postoperative stone-free status, complications were compared. Results: The mean Guy’s score was 2.04±1.01, and the mean STONE score was 8.0+1.7. The mean operative time was 101.9+41 minutes and the mean blood loss was 170+113ml. The complication rate in our study was found to be 32%, majority were grade 1-2. Both scoring systems showed positive correlation with stone burden, operating time and blood loss. The overall stone free rate was 72% and both the GSS and STONE score were significantly associated with success of the procedure.  Conclusions: Both Guy’s and STONE scoring systems are equally effective in predicting stone-free status.

Introduction: We compare percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and open surgery in the treatment of staghorn stones in children.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the electronic records of children who underwent treatment for staghorn stones between September 2000 and August 2013. They were divided between Group 1 (patients who underwent PCNL) and Group 2 (patients who underwent open surgery). We compared stone-free and complications rates, need for multiple procedures, and hospital stay.Results: The study included 41 patients (35 boys and 6 girls), with mean age 7.4 ± 3.1 years (range: 2–15). Of these 41 patients, 26 had unilateral renal stone and 15 had bilateral renal stones. The total number of treated renal units was 56: 28 underwent PCNL and 28 underwent open surgery. The complication rate was comparable for both groups (32% for open surgery vs. 28.6%, p = 0.771). Multiple procedures were more needed in PCNL group (60.7% vs. 32% in open surgery, p = 0.032). The stone-free rate was 71.4% after PCNL and 78.6% after open surgery (p = 0.537). A significant difference was observed in shorter hospital stay after PCNL (5 vs. 8.8 days, p < 0.001). Our study’s limitations include its retrospective design and relatively small sample size.Conclusions: For the treatment of staghorn stones in children, PCNL was comparable to open surgery in complication and stone-free rates. PCNL had the advantage of a shorter hospital stay and open surgery showed a decreased need for multiple procedures.

Objectives: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy on staghorn calculi is challenging for urologists because it is difficult to remove all of the stones. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associated factors of stone-free rate after primary percutaneous nephrolithotomy on staghorn calculi in a large series of patients at a single, tertiary referral, endourologic stone center. Methods: We collected data from medical record between January 2000 and December 2015. A total of 345 primary percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedures were performed for patients with staghorn calculi. This study included both and made no distinction between partial and complete staghorn calculi. Stone-free is defined as the absence of residual stones after undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy for the first time. Significant factors from univariate analysis that correlated with stone-free rate after primary percutaneous nephrolithotomy of staghorn stone were further analyzed using multivariate regression analysis. Results: The mean patient age was 52.23±10.38 years. The stone-free rate of percutaneous nephrolithotomy monotherapy was 62.6%. The mean operating time was 79.55±34.46 minutes. The mean length of stay in hospital was 4.29±3.00 days. Using the chi-square test, history of ipsilateral open renal stone surgery (p = 0.01), stone burden (p = < 0.001), and type of anesthesia (p = 0.04) had a significant impact on the stone-free. From multivariate analysis, the history of ipsilateral open renal stone surgery [OR 0.48; 95% CI 0.28-0.81; p 0.01] and the stone burden [OR 0.28; 95% CI 0.18-0.45; p 0.00] were significant independent risk factors for stone-free.

Objectives: To compare the stone free rates of inferior calyceal stones with stone burden < 20 mm, 21-30 mm, and > 30 mm on post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) patients in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Material & method: The data was collected retrospectively from PCNL medical records in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between January 2000 until May 2012. Patients were followed-up with plain abdominal radiography (BNO) or renal ultrasonography (USG). Stone free status was defined as no residual fragments on radiography or USG. Results: As many as 88 patients with inferior calyceal stones who underwent PCNL were included. Forty-three cases had stone burden < 20 mm, 34 cases with stone burden 21-30 mm, and 11 cases with stone burden > 30 mm. Overall, 81 (92%) cases were defined as stone free. On group < 20 mm, 21-30 mm, and > 30 mm; 41 (95%), 32 (94%), and 8 (73%) cases defined as stone free respectively (p = 0.485). Conclusion: PCNL is the primary modalityon the management of calyx inferior stones with high stone free rate. The stone free rate of these three groups showed no statistically significant difference.Keywords: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, inferior calyx stone, stone free rate.

Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of bilateral simultaneous percutaneous nephrolithotomy in one tertiary hospital in Nepal.Methods: Retrospective study was done for all patients that underwent bilateral simultaneous percutaneous nephrolithotomy in our center from January 2010 to December 2017. The study included 36 male and 16 female patients with totalof 104renal units at an average age of 37 years (range 3 -65 years). Five patients were planned for bilateral simultaneous Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, but intraoperatively the procedure was aborted after completion of only one side due to various factors. All PCNL were performed in prone position under general anesthesia.Results: In91.2% of the patients, bilateral simultaneous percutaneous nephrolithotomy could be performed as planned. Average time required for bilateral simultaneous percutaneous nephrolithotomy was 94 ± 38.8mins (range 25 – 170 mins) with average hemoglobin drop of 1.85 ± 1.30gm% (range 0.1 - 4.2gm%) and no significant change in serum creatinine levels. Multiple access tracts (>1) had to be created in 3 renal units. Most of the renal stones were Guy’s stone score (GSS) 1 and 2 whereas 15.4% were GSS of 3 and 4.Overall stone free rate was 94% with significant residual stones (>4mm) in 6 renal units which were subjected to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) on a later date (Clavien-Dindo Grade: III-a). Bladder clot evacuation was done in one patient (Clavien-Dindo Grade: III-b). Blood transfusion was required in two patients and two patients developed postoperative sepsis (Clavien-Dindo Grade: II). One patient developed hydrothorax which was managed successfully (Clavien-Dindo Grade: III-a). Conclusions: Bilateral simultaneous Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is feasible and safe procedure, given that the patients are appropriately selected based upon Guy’s stone score, stone burden, pelvi-calyceal anatomy and overall health status.Keywords: Bilateral simultaneous;endourology; percutaneous nephrolithotomy; urolithiasis.

Background: The aim of the study is the compare efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy in supine and prone positions. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is conventionally performed in prone position but in recent years numbers of supine percutaneous nephrolithotomies is increasing globally.Methods: The hospital based cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Urology, Bir Hospital from July 2018 to January 2020. A total of 81 consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy were divided into two groups, with 38 patients in Supine (Group 1) and 43 patients in Prone (Group 2) positions, respectively. Patient’s demographics, access time, operative duration, stone free rate, radiation dose and duration, irrigation fluid volume, post-operative hemoglobin drop and complications were compared.Results: Demographic and stone characteristics were comparable in both groups. Supine Group (Group 1) had significantly shorter operative duration than Prone Group (Group 2), 44.63 ± 12.44minsvs 53.02 ±12.67mins (p< 0.04). The mean radiation duration was 99.11 ± 61.17secs in Group 1 and 108.40 ± 51.65 secs in Group 2 (p=0.46), respectively. Although the mean radiation dose was lower in Group 1 (375.1µGym2) than in Group 2 (465.7 µGym2), it was not statistically significant(p=0.24). The stone free rate at 1 month duration were comparable with 92.1% and 93.02% in Group 1 and Group 2 respectively (p=0.16). Overall complication rates were similar in both groups (15.7% in Group 1 vs 16.2% in Group 2), respectively. None of the patients in both groups had complications higher than Clavien IIIa.Conclusions: PCNL in supine position has significantly shorter operative time with similar complications and stone free rates as compared to prone position.Keywords: percutaneous nephrolithotomy; prone position; supine position
