Implication

Cross-sectional study shows high stone-free rates and low complication rates in patients with staghorn calculi, suggesting mini-PCNL is a viable alternative to standard procedures.

Key Points

  • Mini-PCNL achieves a stone-free rate of 88.5% in patients with staghorn calculi, providing an effective treatment option.
  • Complications occurred in 15.4% of cases, with major complications being rare, indicating a favorable safety profile.
  • This cross-sectional cohort study involved 130 patients with kidney stones larger than 2 cm, highlighting the effectiveness of mini-PCNL.
  • The use of Clavien-Dindo classification helps in thoroughly understanding the severity of complications after the procedure.
