Abstract
Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) has been described as a safe and effective technique to eliminate stones in patients in whom a less-invasive approach is desired. It was originally developed to treat stones in the pediatric population, but has since been adapted to serve a role in the adult urologic community. This approach has been reported to result in less blood loss and postoperative pain when compared with traditional PCNL. Herein, we present a case in which a recurrent caliceal diverticulum containing stones was managed using a mini-PCNL technique in a patient who previously failed multiple other retrograde endoscopic approaches.
