About this trial

Pediatric nephrolithiasis accounts for approximately 2-3% of all stone disease cases, with recent reports indicating a rising prevalence of up to 10.6%. This increasing incidence poses a growing public health concern. The primary objective in managing pediatric renal stones is complete stone clearance while minimizing complications and improving the patient's quality of life.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Children aged 1 to 18 years .

Presence of a renal stone ≤2 cm in maximum diameter (single or multiple).

Stone located in the renal pelvis and/or calyces.

1

Measure Stone-Free Rate:

Defined as the absence of residual stones or the presence of clinically insignificant residual fragments (CIRF) \<4 mm or absent and this will be better results, but if Clinical significant residual fragments \> or Equal 4 mm may need Auxillary procedure Evaluation the patients after the operation by Stone-Free Rate as an indicator of surgical success.
