Abstract
Abstract Background To assess the outcome of the mini-track, mini-nephroscopy, mini ultrasonic probe percutaneous nephrolithotomy for upper ureteral and kidney stones. Methods We collected data of 53 patients (55 kidney units) who underwent mini-track, mini-nephroscopy, mini-ultrasonic probe percutaneous nephrolithotomy between September 2020 and March 2021. The study included single and upper ureteral stones from 12 kidneys, multiple stones from 28 kidneys, and staghorn stones from 15 kidneys. Results The mean operative duration was 50.6 min, ranging from 15 to 200 min, whereas the mean lithotripsy and stone removal time was 17.2 min (3–45 min). Moreover, the mean postoperative length of stay was 4.0 days (1–7 days). Besides, the stone-free rate (SFR) of discharge was 89.1% (49/55). The mean hemoglobin drop was 15.3 mg/dL, ranging 1–32 mg/dL. Out of the total cases, only 4 of them displayed minor complications. The outcomes of
