Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (MNPCNL) According to the Chinese Method

  • Chapter
Interventional Management of Urological Diseases

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Endourology ((ENDOUROLOGY,volume 8))

Summary

Standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with a 28–30Fr tract size is an established method for renal stone removal. PCNL using a small tract (12–20Fr) has been reported but was considered applicable in specific conditions only.We review the experience of small-tract PCNL in the literature with particular reference to the experience in China by the Guangzhou group. The technique according to the Chinese method is described. We then report our initial experience of minimally invasive PCNL (MPCNL) using the same technique and discuss how MPCNL should have a greater role in upper tract stone management.
