Objective: Several methods including extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy(ESWL), standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL), mini-PCNL and retrograde intrarenal surgery(RIRS) have been recommended to treat kidney stones. A major advantage of mini-PCNL is that it provides similar stone-free and success rates and is less invasive when compared with standard PCNL. In this report, we evaluated our experiences and outcomes with mini-PCNL in a pediatric population.
Material and Methods: From January 2011 to November 2016, the medical records and radiographic images of children who underwent mini-PCNL with a 15 Fr peel-away sheath and 12 Fr miniature nephroscope were evaluated. We reviewed the patients’ demographic details, hemogram, stone characteristics, stone free rate and success rates, additional procedures, complications, hospital stay and nephrostomy retrieval. Stones were classified according to kidney localization as simple (single calyx or pelvic stones) or complex (choraliform, pelvic+calyx stones or multiple calyx stones).
Results: The study included 12 girls and 28 boys, with a mean age of 7.84±5.62 years (1-17 years). The mean diameter of the stones was 24.4±15.3 mm (10-65 mm). The mean stone size was 14.76±6.52 mm for the simple stone group and 35.05±15.22 mm for the complex stone group (p=0.000). The mean operative and fluoroscopy times were 89.17±31.48 minutes and 146.35±63.16 seconds. The first success rate was 55% (n=22). 8 patients underwent additional procedures and the success rate increased to 77.5% (n=31). The success rate was significantly higher in simple stones (95.2% vs. 57.9%; p=0.005). The complication rate of the mini-PCNL procedure was 22.5% (n=9). The mean hemoglobin decrease was 0.73±1.06 mg/dl and only 1 patient required a blood transfusion. The mean hospital stay and nephrostomy retrieval time was 3.77±2.32 and 2.00±1.70 days, respectively.
Conclusion: Our experiences indicate that mini-PCNL is a safe and effective procedure for the management of renal stones in children and stone-free and success rates similar to standard PCNL are obtained.
Amaç: Böbrek taşlarının tedavisinde ekstrakorporeal şok dalga litotripsi (ESWL), standart perkütan nefrolitotomi (PCNL), mini PCNL ve retrograd intrarenal cerrahi (RIRS) gibi çeşitli yöntemler önerilmiştir. Mini PCNL’nin en büyük avantajı, standart PCNL’ye kıyasla benzer taşsızlık ve başarı oranları sağlaması ve daha az invazif olmasıdır. Bu makalede çocuklardaki mini PCNL deneyimlerimizi ve sonuçlarımızı değerlendirdik.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2011’den Kasım 2016’ya kadar kliniğimizde 12 Fr minyatür nefroskop ve 15 Fr’lik mini PCNL kılıfı kullanarak mini PCNL uygulanan çocukların tıbbi kayıtları ve radyografik görüntüleri değerlendirildi. Hastaların demografik bilgileri, hemogramı, taş özellikleri, taşsızlık ve başarı oranları, ek müdahaleler, komplikasyonlar, hastanede kalış ve nefrostomi çekim zamanı gözden geçirildi. Taşlar, böbrek lokalizasyonuna göre basit (tek kaliks veya pelvik taşlar) veya kompleks taşlar (koraliform, pelvik + kaliks taşları veya çoklu kaliks taşları) olarak sınıflandırıldı.
Bulgular: Araştırmaya 12 kız ve 28 erkek alındı, yaş ortalaması 7.84±5.62 yıl (1-17 yıl)’dı. Taşların ortalama çapı 24.4±15.3 mm (10-65 mm)’di. Basit taşların boyutu ortalama 14.76 ± 6.52 mm iken, kompleks taşların ortalama boyutu 35.05±15.22 mm’di (p=0,000). Operasyon süresi ortalama 89.17±31.48 dakika, skopi süresi 146.35±63.16 saniyeydi. İlk başarı oranı %55 (n=22)’di. 8 hastaya ek müdahalelerde bulunuldu ve ameliyattan 12 hafta sonra başarı oranı %77.5’e (n=31) yükseldi. Basit taşlar, kompleks taşlarla karşılaştırıldığında başarı oranı belirgin olarak yüksekti (%95.2 vs %57.9; p = 0,005). Mini PCNL ameliyatının komplikasyon oranı %22.5 (n=9)’di. Ortalama hemoglobin düşüşü 0.73±1.06 mg/ dl’di ve sadece 1 hastada kan transfüzyonu gerekli oldu. Ortalama hastanede kalış süresi ve nefrostomi çekim süresi sırasıyla 3.77±2.32 ve 2.00±1.70 gündü.
Sonuç: Deneyimlerimiz mini PCNL’nin çocuklarda böbrek taşlarının tedavisi için güvenli ve etkin bir yöntem olduğunu ve standart PCNL’ye benzer taşsızlık ve başarı oranları elde edildiğini desteklemektedir.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 7 articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
