Pediatric Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy—Experience of a Tertiary Care Center

Abstract: PCNL is a minimally invasive surgical technique for removal of renal and upper ureteral stones, which have low morbidity rate, high success rate, and short hospital stay. Although the uses of smaller instruments are on the rise, procedure can still be safely performed in children using adult instruments. Supracostal approach if done cautiously does not increase morbidity rate.

“…Factors affecting PNL success rates were examined by Goldwasser et al and the authors reported that the size of the stone and its localization mostly affected the success rates [ 16 ]. Consistent with the literature, in terms of stone localization, we also found that the success rate in complex stones was lower than that in simple stones [ 7 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Our success rate in simple stones was 96.7% (single stone in pelvis or a calyx), but 45.5% in complex stones ( p < 0.001).…”

“…We thought that multiple working channels could increase the complication rates, so we created a single subcostal channel for all of our patients. The reported success rates in complex stones ranged from 61% to 89% with the use of multiple channels [ 7 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Netto et al reported that the success of percutaneous treatment for staghorn calculi is highly related to optimal kidney access with supracostal and multiple access approaches, despite a slight increase in the incidence of acceptable complications [ 22 ].…”

“…Complications according to the Clavien classification were reported in 29.2% of the adults by Tefekli et al [17] and in 30% of children by Ozden et al [18]. Yadav et al reported complication in 21.66% of cases and the majority of patients (97.9%) had minor complications (Clavien grade 1 & 2) [19]. In our study, complications emerged in 5 children (6.3%).…”

“…Many studies have proved the safety and efficacy of PCNL in pediatric patients, but most of these studies are performed with adult-size instruments. [ 8 9 10 ] Kapoor et al . used an adult-size sheath from 24 to 30 Fr in children and achieved a stone-free rate of 74.2% in a single session, which improved to 83.9% after the second procedure.…”
