Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy <i>vs</i> percutaneous nephrolithotomy, complication rate and recurrence rate in management of pediatric renal stone, a prospective randomized trial
Our study demonstrates that Mini-PNL has a higher stone-free rate than SWL for managing renal stones of 10-20 mm in children. While both techniques have comparable complication rates, mini-PNL has higher intraoperative complications and longer hospital stays. Additionally, stone recurrence is more common after SWL compared to mini-PNL.
