There is a dearth of information comparing ultra-mini PNCL with ESWI in Pakistan for kidney stones smaller than 20 mm. Hence the current study was planned with the objective of comparing the outcome of ESWL and ultra-mini PCNL in renal stones less than 20 mm.
Even though small PCNL and ESWL are tried-and-true techniques for kidney calculus, their usage poses unique challenges since they need precision to guarantee effective stone removal while minimizing invasiveness. Despite these advantages, selecting the optimum course of action is challenging due to risks of both modalities. The results of this investigation would therefore help to improve the treatment of the patients with renal proximal stones that are smaller than 20 mm.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group-A | Experimental | Patients were treated with ultra-mini PCNL with double J stent implantation. |
|
| Group-B | Experimental | Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) with double J stent implantation was performed in patients. Typically, the therapy began with a lower power of 1 kilovolt (kV) and was progressively increased to 20 kV. Each session included no more than 2000 shocks. |
