Abstract
Super-mini-PCNL (SMP) is an innovative endoscopic system that comprises an 8.0 F super-mini nephroscope and a specially designed irrigation-suction sheath available in either 12 or 14 Fr. The irrigation-suction sheath is a unique feature of SMP that allows for both irrigation and suction, leading to improved efficiency in stone clearance and irrigation, despite using instruments with smaller dimensions. Clinical studies have confirmed that the SMP technique is a safe, feasible, and effective method for managing moderate-sized renal calculi. This technique has several advantages, including a small percutaneous tract, minimal blood loss, high efficacy in stone clearance, improved visual field, high totally tubeless rate, short operation duration, and ease of use.
