Percutaneous nephrolithotomy in children: experience with 138 cases in a developing country

Abstract: Our aim was to evaluate our experience with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in children in the Republic of Yemen. Between January 1993 and December 1998, 135 children underwent 138 percutaneous nephrolithotomies in Yemen. The patient's age ranged between 8 months and 14 years (average 8.9 years). There were 117 boys and 18 girls (male:female ratio 6.5:1). The stone size ranged between 124 and 624 mm2 (average 507 mm2). A 26 F adult nephroscope was used. The stone free rate was 98.5% (136 out of the 138 cas… Show more

“…Taş yükünün fazla olduğu olgularda taşsızlığın tam olarak sağlanabilmesi için geliştirilen PNL uygulaması, daha küçük boyda nefroskopların kullanıma girmesi ile çocuk yaş grubunda da rutin kullanıma girmiştir (27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34) . Özellikle böbrek üst polünde ve pelviste 15 mm, alt polünde 1 cm taşı olan, ek anatomik anomalisi nedeni ile kırılan taşların idrar ile atılımı sağlanamayan, sistin veya sutrivit gibi sert taşları olan olgularda PNL yapılması önerilir (35) .…”

“…Başlangıçta PNL serilerinde erişkin aletleri ile yapılan girişimler genellikle 5 yaş üzerindeki çocuk olgularda gerçekleştirilmiştir (28)(29)(30)(31)(32) . Küçük boyutta nefroskopların (18 Fr, 12 Fr) ve Holmium: YAG laserin kullanımı yada ince çaplı pnömotik yada ultrasonografik aletler ile daha rahat manevra yapabilme, kan kaybının azaltılması ve daha kısa süre hastanede yatış sağlanması (33) PNL'nin taş yükü fazla olan tüm yaş grubu çocuk-larda açık cerrahinin yerini almasını sağlamıştır.…”
