Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: The extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is first line treatment for renal stones in the pediatric population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate outcomes of the ESWL and miniperc in treatment of stones size 10–19mm. Study done at Madras medical college Chennai. 62 patients ≤6 years of age with 1–2 cm single renal pelvis stone, were randomized into two groups. Group 1 containing 32 patients and group 2 containing 30 patients. Patients in group 1 were subjected to SWL while those in group 2 underwent miniperc using 18 Fr percutaneous sheath . The stone–free rate after first session was 53.6% (17 cases) and 86.6% (26 cases), Retreatment rates were 6.6% versus 46.8% for groups 1 and 2 (significant P <0.005),respectively. No significant difference was found in the complications of the both groups. Miniperc gives better stone clearance in single sitting in most of pediatric cases but comparable to ESWL after three sessions, however, the miniperc has more radiation exposure, complications and requires a longer hospital stay.
