Mini Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) is considered a less invasive evolution from the traditional percutaneous nephrolithotomy (NLPC). This technique allows less damage to the renal parenchyma with a lower rate of complications and the possibility of doing so without using drainage tubes (nephrostomy tuve and double J stent). The objectives, as in any procedure, are to achieve a stone-free rate in a single surgical time, with the advantages of the mini-invasive technique. We present our initial experiences in our private practice of mini-PCNL in cases selected for this technique.
