Modified supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy in an 11-month-old infant

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Nephrolithiasis is less common in children and is rare in newborns. The evaluation and management strategies for renal stones in infants are not clear. Recently, supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has gained attention, but data on its feasibility and safety in infants are limited. We report a case of supine PCNL in an infant, focusing on its feasibility and benefits.
