Clinical Outcomes Comparing Mini Versus Standard PCNL Without Postoperative Nephrostomy Tube: A Multi-institutional Randomized Controlled Trial From the EDGE Consortium
Results from a multi-institutional randomized controlled trial evaluating mini versus standard PCNL without postoperative nephrostomy tubes indicate no statistically significant differences in intraoperative, postoperative, or stone-free outcomes. Surgeons should be empowered to utilize the PCNL tract size that best meets the needs of their patient, institution, and practice.
