IntroductionMini PCNL was developed with the use of 15 - 18 F sheaths (instead conventional 24 30 F) to reduce morbidity that is seen in standard PCNL. Performing mPCNL supine position further adds its many advantages including shorter operative time.

OBJECTIVES To report our experience of diagnosis and multimodal management of urolithiasis in renal transplantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 1995 to December 2012, 953 patients underwent renal transplantation in the Kidney Transplant Unit of Treviso General Hospital. Ten (10%) of them developed urinary calculi and were referred at our institution. Their mode of presentation, investi...

AIMS There has been much speculation and discussion about the infective complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). While fever is common after PCNL, the incidence of it progressing to urosepsis is fortunately less. Which patient undergoing PCNL is at risk of developing urosepsis and in whom aggressive treatment of fever postoperatively may prevent the progression to severe sepsis bec...

Objective Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is commonly used in the management of large renal stones. Postoperative infections are one of the most common complications of this procedure. The present study is to determine and assess the factors that may increase the risk to develop fever and urinary sepsis after PCNL. Methods A total of 60 patients (38 males and 22 females) with a mean age o...

Abstract. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPNL) in comparison with standard percutaneous (sPNL) for treatment complex nephrolithiasis.
 Methods. During period from 2012 2020, 1021 patients solitary (10.0-30.0 mm), staghorn multiple renal calculi were retrospectively divided into two groups: sPNL (500 patients) mPNL (521 p...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSES In the era of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL), there are still some patients who will require percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Our experience with this procedure is reviewed and discussed. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty five patients with a mean age of 7.9 years (10 months-14 years) underwent 67 PCNL procedures on 62 renal units between September 1997 and Ap...
