The relative performance of balloon dilatators and metallic telescopic dilatators for the establishment of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy tracts: a single-center, retrospective study
In patients undergoing ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy, balloon dilatator use for the establishment of percutaneous tracts is not superior to metallic telescopic dilatator use in terms of overshooting and failure of access and stone removal rates, but is superior in terms of the control of bleeding.
