Which Factor Affect the Success of Pediatric PCNL?: Single Center Experiences, Over 20 Years: Cohort Study
Between June 1997-June 2018, 573 pediatric patients underwent PCNL for renal stone disease by senior surgeons. Data was disunited into 2 groups.
The study showed that PCNL is an operator-dependent procedure, with the improvement of outcomes over time, presumably due to increased operator experience and the involvement of a team member with substantial prior experience During 20 years, by gaining experience and with the development of new tools and optics, fluoroscopy time, operation time, blood loss and complication rates decreased and stone-free rates increased.
