Abstract
Introduction

Micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy is an evolution from the conventional percutaneous surgery in which pyelocaliceal access is obtained through minimum bore holes. Its objective is the complete removal of the calculi, lowering the morbidity associated with larger bore percutaneous tracts.

Materials and methods

We present the case of a micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy performed in a 14-year-old female patient with a 35mm diameter kidney stone located in the renal pelvis. Surgery was performed in the Galdakao-modified supine Valdivia position. Puncture was done under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance. The 4.85Ch needle of the Microperc® set was used, completing the procedure through the 8Ch working shaft. Lasertripsy was done with the Ho:YAG laser. An indwelling double J stent was placed at the end of the procedure.

Results

Operating time was 170min. Hospital stay was one day. She suffered renal colic after 72h, which was resolved with oral analgesic treatment at home (Clavien I). She returned to school on the fifth postoperative day. The double J was removed at two weeks. At one month of the surgery, the patient is asymptomatic, a 4mm lower calyx residual stone being observed in the abdominal ultrasound.

Conclusion

Micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy is a step forward toward the search for a less invasive kidney stone treatment. It is a safe and effective technique in the pediatric population, and it can be performed in the supine position, even in orthotropic kidneys. Future studies and collaborative works will help to better define its indications, to optimize its technique and to analyze its cost-effectiveness compared with other treatment options.

Resumen
Introducción

La nefrolitotomía micropercutánea es una evolución de la cirugía percutánea convencional en la que se accede al sistema pielocalicial mediante orificios de mínimo calibre. Su objetivo es la completa eliminación del cálculo, disminuyendo la morbilidad producida por la realización de trayectos percutáneos de mayor diámetro.

Material y métodos

Presentamos la realización de una nefrolitotomía micropercutánea en una paciente de 14 años con litiasis renal de 35mm de diámetro situada en la pelvis renal. La cirugía se realiza en posición supina de Valdivia modificada en Galdakao. Punción guiada por ultrasonidos y fluoroscopia. Se emplea la aguja 4,85 Charrière (Ch) del set de Microperc®, completando el procedimiento a través de la vaina 8Ch. Lasertricia con láser Ho:YAG. Se deja catéter doble J al finalizar el procedimiento.

Resultados

Tiempo quirúrgico de 170min. Estancia hospitalaria de un día. Cólico renal a las 72h resuelto con analgesia en domicilio (Clavien I). Reincorporación a la vida escolar al 5.° día. Retirada del catéter doble J a las 2 semanas. La paciente está asintomática al mes de la intervención, observándose en la ecografía abdominal un resto de 4mm en el cáliz inferior.

Conclusión

La nefrolitotomía micropercutánea es un nuevo paso adelante hacia la búsqueda de la menor invasividad en el tratamiento de la litiasis renal, siendo una técnica segura y efectiva en la población pediátrica, pudiendo ser realizada en decúbito supino en riñones ortotópicos. Futuros estudios y trabajos colaborativos ayudarán definir mejor sus indicaciones, a optimizar su técnica quirúrgica y a analizar su coste-efectividad comparada con otros tratamientos.
