- Abstract
The spectrum of percutaneous stone treatment was significantly widened following the introduction of the miniaturized percutaneous nephrolitholapaxy. At the end of the procedure usually a nephrostomy tube was placed to avoid urine paravasation and prolonged bleeding. In this work the tube-less mini-PCNL with direct closure of the access tract was compared to traditional mini-PCNL with placement of the nephrostomy tube.
