Comparison of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) and Ultra-mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNI), in Renal Stones <20 mm.
Sponsor: Muhammad Aamir Latif
Summary
There is a dearth of information comparing ultra-mini PNCL with ESWI in Pakistan for kidney stones smaller than 20 mm. Hence the current study was planned with the objective of comparing the outcome of ESWL and ultra-mini PCNL in renal stones less than 20 mm.
Official title: Comparison of the Outcome of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) and Ultra-mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL), in Renal Stones <20 mm.

Interventions
Ultra-mini PCNL
Patients were treated with ultra-mini PCNL with DJ stent implantation.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) with DJ stent implantation was performed in patients. Typically, the therapy began with a lower power of 1 kV and was progressively increased to 20 kV. Each session included no more than 2000 shocks.
