ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL) for pediatric upper urinary tract calculi. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 35 pediatric patients with upper urinary tract stones treated by MPCNL in our hospital. The series consists of 29 boys and 6 girls with a mean age of 8.5 years (4 to 13 years). Among the 35 cases,7 children had proximal ureteral stones and 28 showed renal stones; 2 of the patients were complicated with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJ). Results Totally 31 (88.6%) of the 35 cases were cured by MPCNL. The one-session success rate was 87.1% (27/31),and two-session success rate was 75% (3/4). Four patients were converted to open surgery because of UPJ-caused ureteral stenosis under the level of the calculi or failure in percutaneous renal puncture. Conclusion MPCNL is safe and effective for renal calculi and proximal ureteral calculi in children.
