In this study, we aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the current evidence regarding the role of SMP in treating renal stones and compare its outcomes …

Super-mini PCNL (SMP) (14 Fr) was introduced with the unique feature of active suction, differentiating it from the other miniaturized PCNL techniques, which allows for efficient stone …

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is considered a first-choice treatment for renal stones >2 cm. The treatment modality results in the best stone-free rate (SFR) compared with other …

Results: SMP refers to a 7 Ch. nephroscope placed through a 10-14 Ch. metal access sheath with functions of both irrigation and suction-evacuation, to achieve stone fragmentation via laser or …

May 9, 2023 · Super-mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMP) is feasible and safe in adults and children with moderate-size renal calculi, but the use of SMP to remove larger calculi has yet …

May 14, 2018 · Miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedures have gained increased popularity in recent years. They aim to reduce percutaneous tract size in order to …

Apr 1, 2020 · Enhanced SMP can accelerate lithotripsy efficiency and maintain low intrapelvic pressure compared with traditional mPCNL by suction sheath perfusion. ESMP is safe and …

Apr 24, 2024 · Super-mini PCNL is equally effective as standard PCNL in treating renal calculi up to 3 cm, with significantly reduced postoperative pain and duration of hospital stay and lower …

In this study, we aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the current evidence regarding the role of SMP in treating renal stones and compare its outcomes …

SMP is equally as effective as sPCNL for managing renal calculi of <2 cm, with improved safety. Although SMP is associated with a longer operative time, it has a significantly lower incidence …
