Clinical Comparison of Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy with Vacuum Cleaner Effect or with a Vacuum-Assisted Access Sheath: A Single-Center Experience

To compare outcomes of two different miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) techniques: minimally invasive PCNL (MIP) with the vacuum cleaner effect and vacuum-assisted mini-PCNL (vmPCNL). Data from 104 (66.7%) patients who underwent vmPCNL and 52 (33.3%) patients who underwent MIP at a si...

Zusammenfassung:To compare outcomes of two different miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) techniques: minimally invasive PCNL (MIP) with the vacuum cleaner effect and vacuum-assisted mini-PCNL (vmPCNL). Data from 104 (66.7%) patients who underwent vmPCNL and 52 (33.3%) patients who underwent MIP at a single tertiary referral academic center between January 2016 and December 2019 were analyzed. Patient demographics and peri- and postoperative data were recorded, and propensity score matching was performed. Descriptive statistics and linear regression models were used to identify variables associated with operative time (OT) and patient effective dose. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with infectious complications and stone-free (SF) status. Patient demographics and stone characteristics were comparable between groups. vmPCNL was associated with shorter OT (
