Abstract

Objective: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and tubed PCNL by using small bore nephrostomy tube (12Fr) in children for the management of nephro-lithiasis. Material and methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of 35 children where tubed PCNL (Group 1) was done in 18, and tubeless PCNL (group 2) in 17 patients from January 2010 to December 2016. Charts were reviewed for age, mass, stone size, operative time, hospital stay and stone-free rates.These variables were compared between the two groups. SPSS version 21 was used for data analysis. The data were shown as mean±standard deviation for continuous variables.Categorical variables were presented in percentages. Results: There is no difference in terms of age, stone sizes, operative times, hospital stays, stone-free rates and post-PCNL complications between the two groups (p>0.05). The mean drop in hemoglobin level was 0.7±0.1 g/dL and 1.3±0.2 g/dL in Groups 1 and 2, respectively (p=0.01). Conclusion: Tubeless PCNL in children is a safe option in well selected cases.
