Overview

Observational study shows 84.6% stone-free rate in patients with staghorn calculi, suggesting mPCNL is a safe alternative.

Key Points

  • mPCNL demonstrated a stone-free rate of 84.6%, indicating high effectiveness for treating staghorn calculi.
  • With a mean operative time of 61.2 minutes, longer times correlated with larger stone sizes, which is significant.
  • This observational study included 26 patients over one year, highlighting mPCNL's low complication rates.
  • The findings support mPCNL as a favorable treatment option with minimal morbidity for moderate-sized staghorn stones.
