    Percutaneous removal of kidney stones is now streamlined, reducing patient morbidity and cost. This outpatient procedure offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional surgery or lithotripsy.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Technical advancements and increased operator experience have significantly improved percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
    • Development of nephrostomy tract balloon dilators, enhanced grasping instruments, and local anesthesia have reduced procedure morbidity and cost.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of percutaneous stone removal on an outpatient basis.
    • To assess the cost-effectiveness of outpatient PCNL compared to other renal calculus treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 5 patients underwent a single-stage percutaneous stone removal procedure.
    • Procedures were performed on an outpatient basis, utilizing advancements in instrumentation and anesthesia.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • All 5 patients experienced uncomplicated, single-stage stone removal.
    • Outpatient percutaneous stone removal demonstrated substantially lower costs compared to traditional surgery or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous stone removal can be safely and effectively performed on an outpatient basis.
    • Outpatient PCNL offers a significant cost advantage for treating renal calculi.
