Abstract: Purpose To describe the vacuum-assisted mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (vmPCNL) technique performed via the 16Ch ClearPetra sheath, to evaluate its outcomes and to analyze intrarenal pressure (IRP) fluctuations during surgery. Methods Data from all consecutive vmPCNL procedures… read more here.
