Background:

Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) are common and require accurate diagnosis.
Differentiating stones from renal pyramid calcification is crucial for treatment planning.
Minimally invasive diagnostic tools are essential in urology.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the utility of nephroscopy in diagnosing kidney stones.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the infant panendoscope for stone localization.
To differentiate between calyceal stones and renal pyramid calcifications.

Main Methods:

Utilized nephroscopy as a diagnostic procedure.
Employed an ordinary infant panendoscope for visualization.
Focused on differentiating stone locations within the kidney.
