Abstract
Introduction
Traditional Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) typically involves the retrograde placement of a ureteral catheter. However, this procedure can present additional risks in pediatric patients.
Case presentation
We report a case of a 10-year-old boy, weighing 33 kg, diagnosed with a right upper ureteral stone complicated by hydronephrosis and urosepsis.
Clinical discussion
Tubeless PCNL without retrograde indwelling ureteral catheter was performed on the second day of hospitalization.
Conclusion
This case applied tubeless PCNL without retrograde ureteral catheterization in a single prone position. The procedure was successful and safe.
