Standard Versus Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy for Renal Stones

Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
Renal stone disease is a common urological condition associated with significant morbidity. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the standard treatment for renal stones larger than 2 cm. Although standard PCNL (Percutaneous nephrolithotomy) is associated with high stone-free rates, it carries a risk of complications such as bleeding and prolonged hospital stay. Mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy has been introduced as a less invasive alternative with the potential to reduce morbidity. However, evidence comparing outcomes between mini-PCNL (Percutaneous nephrolithotomy) and standard PCNL (Percutaneous nephrolithotomy) remains inconsistent, particularly in the local population. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare operative and postoperative outcomes of mini-PCNL versus standard PCNL in patients with renal stones.
