A retrospective cohort study: evaluating the efficacy of standard versus tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in pediatric patients up to 18 years old
AbstractPercutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is an endourological method applied as the standard or tubeless method for kidney stone treatment. In a retrospective cohort study, 88 surgery units involving 75 children up to 18 years old with kidney stones who underwent the surgery for 8 years in Shahid Beheshti and Boo-ali hospitals in Hamadan with one of the two methods of standard or tubeless PCNL were evaluated and compared considering the success rate of operation, hemoglobin, hematocrit drop, need for medications, need for blood transfusion, duration of surgery, and the length of hospital stay.

Perioperative and Oncological Outcomes of Partial Versus Radical Nephrectomy for Complex Renal Tumors (RENAL Score ≥ 7): Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: For complex renal tumours, PN requires more operative time and has a higher chance of complications in the short term. However, in long-term follow-up, PN has a small decrease in renal function with longer OS and CSS.PMID:38630418 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-024-15223-x (Source: Ann Oncol)
