    Percutaneous nephrolithotomy using a 26 F nephroscope offers a minimally invasive approach for kidney stone removal, proving successful in 32 of 39 cases. This technique presents advantages over traditional surgical pielolithotomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy has evolved significantly with the advent of larger nephroscopes.
    • Kidney stone (nephrolithiasis) management traditionally involved open surgical procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy with a 26 F nephroscope for kidney stone removal.
    • To compare this minimally invasive technique with surgical pielolithotomy.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 39 cases undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
    • Kidney stones were removed using forceps or ultrasonic lithotripsy via a 26 F nephroscope.

    Main Results:

    • Successful stone removal was achieved in 32 out of 39 cases.

  • Three complications were reported during the study period.
  • The study examined advantages for patients and healthcare systems.

    • Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy with a 26 F nephroscope is an effective method for kidney stone removal.
    • This approach offers benefits compared to surgical pielolithotomy.
    • Radiation exposure for operators requires consideration.
