Supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a potential treatment for infant kidney stones. This case study explores the feasibility and benefits of this minimally invasive approach in newborns, offering new insights for pediatric urology.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Urology
- Nephrolithiasis Management
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) is uncommon in children and exceedingly rare in newborns.
- Established evaluation and management strategies for infant renal stones are lacking.
- Supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is emerging as a potential option, but data on its infant application is limited.
