Overview

This randomized trial assesses outcomes of single versus multiple mini-tract nephrolithotomy for staghorn stones, suggesting differences in effectiveness and complications.

Key Points

  • Single-tract nephrolithotomy had a mean stone size of 11.68 mm, while multiple tracts had 16.24 mm.
  • Operative times averaged 101 minutes for single tracts and 121 minutes for multiple tracts, showing a significant difference.
  • The rate of blood transfusions was higher in the single-tract group at 28%, compared to 16% in the multiple-tract group.
  • Multiple-tract access was determined to be effective but associated with more complications than single-tract procedures.
