Endoscopic Treatment Options in Pediatric Stone Disease: Results of 164 Cases Aim: Approach to pediatric kidney stones has changed dramatically in recent years due to the miniaturization of surgical instruments and the development of intracorporeal lithotriptors in parallel with the development of technology. In this study, we aimed to present the results of pediatric stone operated in our clinic in the last 5 years. Materials and Methods: Patients diagnosed with stone disease between February 2014 and 2019 in our clinic were included in the study. Patient files were retrospectively analyzed and data of 164 patients were obtained. All patients were evaluated by ultrasonography and urine culture. Direct urinary tract radiography and computed tomography were taken when necessary to avoid radiation. Findings: Of the 164 cases, 104 were male and 60 were female. The mean age was 82.3 months (range 6-209). Of the patients, 92 had ureteral stones, 51 had kidney stones, 19 had bladder stones and 2 had urethra stones. Stone - free rates were 81.4%, 83.3%, 86.9% and 78.9% in PNL, RIRS, URS, and Sistolitotripsy cases, respectively. Stone analyzes were reported as 54,11,24 and 6 patients, respectively, in calcium, uric acid, infection stones, and cystin stones. Stone analysis could not be performed in 65 patients. The overall complication rate was 13.4%. Major complication occurred in 2 patients (1.2%). Nephrostomy catheter was placed in one of these patients and the other one underwent ureteroneocystostomy. Conclusion: Pediatric stone disease should be treated with non-invasive methods because of the possibility of recurrence and high life expectancy of patients. Minimal damage and high success rates can be achieved with the use of age-appropriate instruments.
