Comparison of lithotripsy methods during mini-PNL: is there a role for ballistic lithotripsy in the era of high-power lasers

Abstract Background For renal stones > 20 mm, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) offers the best stone clearance rates with acceptable complication rates. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of high-power holmium YAG laser and ballistic lithotripsy during mini-PNL. Methods Data from 880 pa...
