Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the primary outcome, the stone-free rate

    no evidence of any residual fragment by NCCT or KUB or clinical insignificant residual fragments (CIRF) ≤ 4 mm in maximum diameter in a single session within the first month postoperatively.

    at 4 weeks postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The Secondary outcomes, perioperative parameters

    intraoperative and first day postoperatively

Other Outcomes (1)

  • the tertiary outcome. post operative pain score

    at first day post operative

Study Arms (2)

Mini PCNL (mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Under general anesthesia, a 5/ 6 Fr ureteric catheter will be placed in the pelvicalyceal system. then the patient is turned to the prone position. A puncture will be done using an 18 G needle under fluoroscopy guidance. The tract will be dilated up to 15 F and then a sheath will be placed. A 12 F nephoscope (MIP-M, Karl Storz Endoscopy, Tuttlingen, Germany) will be used. Stone fragmentation will be performed using holmium YAG Laser energy. Then, Fragments will be evacuated using vacuum cleaner effect, tipless basket, or 5 FR stone forceps for stone analysis. A nephrostomy tube 12 Fr will be fixed at the end of the procedure.

Procedure: Mini PCNL (mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy)

RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery/ flexible URS)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Under general anesthesia, the children will be placed in the lithotomy position . Cystoscopy or rigid ureteroscopy will be performed to place a hydrophilic guidewire to the renal pelvis under fluoroscopic guidance. After passing a 0.035/0.038-inch safety guidewire into the renal pelvis, a ureteral access sheath will be placed (9.5/11.5 Fr, 35 cm) will be used according to the surgeon preference. . RIRS will be performed using a single use digital Flexible ureteroscopy . A manual irrigation pump system will be used to hydro dilate the ureter during ureteroscopy. The stones will be fragmented with a holmium:YAG laser until they will be deemed small enough to pass spontaneously. Some residual fragments will be removed by tipless nitinol basket for stone analysis. A double-J stent OR URETERIC CATHETER will be placed at the end of the procedure based on surgeon's decision. .

Procedure: RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery/ flexible URS)

Interventions

half of the cases will be treated using mini PCNL

Mini PCNL (mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy)

THE OTHER HALF WILL BE TRAETED USING Flexible URS

RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery/ flexible URS)
