Summary

Prospectively randomized study in patients with renal pelvic stones who are candidate to standard PCNL procedure. One to one, controlled clinical trial. Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups, 20 patients in each group. Group A will be scheduled to receive routine standard PCNL. Group B will be scheduled to receive Robot assisted pyelolethotomy.

Conditions

• Renal Stone

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Robot assisted pyelolithotomy	A 12-mm camera port is placed at the level of the umbilicus and lateral; this port is moved farther laterally in morbidly obese patients to allow for the instruments to reach the target organs. Two 8-mm robotic trocars are placed under direct vision and a 12-mm assistant port is placed in the midline a 5-8 cm above the umbilicus. For right-sided stones, an additional 5-mm port is placed in the midline just below the xiphoid process for liver retraction. Placement of the trocars can be changed according to surgeon preference. After reflecting the colon medially, the renal pelvis will be dissected and identified, a flexible cystoscope will be inserted via an assisted trocar and introduced into the renal pelvis through a minor incision. The kidney stones will then be extracted with a basket and either removed via the port or placed in a specimen retrieval bag.
