Micropercutaneous Nephrolithotomy in the Treatment of Moderate-Size Renal Calculi

Abstract: Our initial results provide that microperc is a feasible, safe, and efficacious treatment modality for moderate-size kidney stones as well as small ones with its minimally invasive nature. Technical refinements are needed to achieve better results and overcome the limitations of technique.

“…In the literature, in the first study presented by Desai et al (14) on this subject, the success rate was reported to be 89% when clinically insignificant stones were excluded. Subsequent studies have reported stone-free rates between 85% and 93%, demonstrating the success of this new technology (19,20). In a recent study that compared the success rates of micro-PNL and RIRC, it was found that the stone-free rate was 80% in patients who underwent micro-PNL treatment, whereas the stone-free rate for RIRC was 86.2% (p=0.47) (21).…”

“…Especially when entry is performed with a needle, hemorrhage occurs more frequently during dilatation, stone crushing, and searching for the crushed pieces (23,(25)(26)(27). In studies on micro-PNL, the differences between preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin values were reported to be between 0.8 and 1.4 g/dL (14,19,20). Also in our study, a low level of average hemoglobin decrease of 0.86 g/dL was determined; as a result, none of our patients required blood transfusions.…”

“…Mikroperk avantajları toplayıcı sisteme direk görüş altında giriş sağlaması, giriş sonrası dilatasyona gereksinim olmaması ve işlem sonunda nefrostomi uygulanmaması sayılabilir. Ancak tekniğin bazı zayıf noktaları ve sınırları zamanla uygulandıkça ortaya çıkmıştır (14,15).…”

“…Orta boyut böbrek taşlarında mikroperkin uygulandığı bir çalışmada ise %83 taşsızlık, %10 klinik önemsiz rezidüel fragman rapor edilmiş-tir (15). Bu çalışmada yazarlar 4.8Fr mikroperk gövdesinin çok ince ve narin yapısından dolayı böbrek içinde açılan-maya ve sistem içinde çok rahat hareket etmeye izin vermediğini ve düşük çözünürlüklü optiğinin uzamış operasyon süresinde kanamadan kolayca etkilenip görüntüsünün bozduğunu belirtmişlerdir.…”
