Description
Summary:[...]from March 2019 to July 2019, 24 patients with renal stones underwent PCNL with the use of needle-perc needles at our hospital. [4] The pressure throughout the procedure ranged between 16 and 35 cmH2O (1 cmH2O = 98 Pa), which effectively avoided bacterial reflux. Because of the small size of the intra-sheath space, gravity irrigation was preferred for the needle-perc procedure. [...]needle-perc is still in the early stage of clinical application, so there is much room for improvement in its handling, materials, and performance. [...]needle-perc is a smart instrument for PCNL to manage some special cases.
