Percutaneous stone removal in children.

J R Woodside, G F Stevens, G L Stark

    The Journal of Urology
    |December 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Percutaneous removal of kidney stones is effective in children. This minimally invasive procedure avoided repeat surgeries and nephrostomy tubes in all treated pediatric patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Nephrolithiasis Management

    Background:

    • Renal and ureteral calculi (kidney stones) treatment in children often presents challenges due to underlying metabolic or infectious causes.
    • Pediatric stone disease may necessitate multiple surgical interventions over time.

    Observation:

    • Percutaneous stone removal, a successful adult procedure, was evaluated for pediatric patients.
    • The study included 7 pediatric patients undergoing percutaneous stone removal.

    Findings:

    • Percutaneous removal of renal and ureteral calculi was successfully performed in all 7 pediatric patients.
    • No patient required a secondary surgical procedure for stone removal.
    • All patients were discharged without a nephrostomy tube.

    Implications:

    • Percutaneous stone removal offers a highly effective, single-stage treatment option for pediatric kidney stones.
    • This approach minimizes the need for repeat surgeries and reduces patient morbidity associated with nephrostomy tubes.
    • Minimally invasive percutaneous techniques represent a significant advancement in pediatric urolithiasis management.
