Authors

Abstract
This research paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of
mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) and standard percutaneous
nephrolithotomy (standard PCNL) for the treatment of renal calculi measuring
20-30mm. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and outcomes of both
procedures in managing intermediate-sized kidney stones. A systematic review of
relevant literature from Scopus publications was conducted, focusing on key
parameters such as stone-free rates, operative time, hospital stay,
complications, and patient satisfaction. The findings suggest that both
mini-PCNL and standard PCNL are effective treatment options for 20-30mm renal
calculi, with mini-PCNL demonstrating potential advantages in terms of reduced
morbidity and faster recovery times. However, standard PCNL may offer superior
stone clearance rates in certain cases. This study provides valuable insights
for urologists and patients in selecting the most appropriate treatment
approach for intermediate-sized renal calculi.
