Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) has been described as a safe and effective technique to eliminate stones in patients in whom a less-invasive approach is desired. It was originally developed to treat stones in the pediatric population, but has since been adapted to serve a role in the adult urologic community. This approach has been reported to result in less blood loss and postoperative pain when compared with traditional PCNL. Herein, we present a case in which a recurrent caliceal diverticulum containing stones was managed using a mini-PCNL technique in a patient who previously failed multiple other retrograde endoscopic approaches.
微创经皮肾镜取石术（mini-PCNL）已被描述为一种安全有效的技术，用于那些希望采用侵入性较小方法的患者来清除结石。它最初是为治疗儿科患者的结石而开发的，但后来已适用于成人泌尿外科领域。据报道，与传统经皮肾镜取石术相比，这种方法导致的失血量和术后疼痛更少。在此，我们报告一例病例，一名既往多次逆行内镜治疗失败的患者，其复发性肾盂憩室合并结石采用微创经皮肾镜取石术进行治疗。
