First seen Mar 12, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study compared two types of surgery for removing kidney stones larger than 2 cm: standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and a newer, less invasive mini-PCNL. Sixty adults aged 20 to 60 with a single stone took part. The goal was to see if mini-PCNL reduces complications like bleeding and hospital stay while still clearing stones effectively.
