Laser percutaneous mini-nephrolithotomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique, used mainly for the removal of upper renal and ureteral lithiasis
The objective of our work is to test the feasibility, efficacy and safety of this technique by comparing the results with those of standard NLPC, flexible uretero-nephroscopy and extracorporeal lithotripsy.
We report a retrospective study of 20 cases of laser mini-NLPC over a period from January 2022 to January 2023 in the urology department.
Mini-NLPC is as safe and effective as standard NLPC for the management of small and medium-sized (10-30 mm) kidney stones, including decreasing the rate of bleeding requiring transfusion and improving the rate of eradication of multiple stones... Although its use requires a longer operating time and has a slightly higher rate of postoperative fever, some of these features such as the length of hospital stay, the dose of postoperative analgesics make it a technique of choice.
