Smaller incision, same goal: mini surgery for kidney stones tested
NCT ID NCT07464717
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two types of surgery for kidney stones: mini-PCNL (using a smaller tube) and standard PCNL (using a larger tube). Sixty adults with a single stone smaller than 30 mm took part. Researchers measured surgery time, how well stones were removed, blood loss, fever, and hospital stay. The goal was to see if the mini approach causes fewer complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) and Standard Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (standard PCNL) procedures
What this could lead to
If mini-PCNL works better, it could mean less bleeding and shorter hospital stays for people with kidney stones.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 60 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefits of mini-PCNL over standard PCNL are still uncertain.
