Cited in Scopus: 3Surgical treatment of kidney stones has changed over the years. The use of Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (MiniPCNL) instrumentation is associated with a reduction of major complications but it lengthens the operative time (OT). This limit may be overcome by a semi-closed-circuit vacuum-assisted MiniPCNL system, characterized by a continuous inflow and a suction-controlled outflow. We present our initial experience in pediatric patients who underwent PCNL using a 12 Fr nephroscope and a 16-Fr-large nephrostomy sheath, equipped with a lateral arm connected to suction.
