We evaluated perioperative characteristics, stone clearance, analgesic requirements and QoL by using the Wisconsin Stone QOL questionnaire. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; The age, gender, stone diameter, body mass index, length of operation, drop in hemoglobin and stone-free rates for the 3 groups were similar among these groups. However, the postoperative visual analog scale and the analgesic requirement in Group II were significantly the lowest (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt; &amp;#x3c; 0.05). According to Wisconsin Stone QOL questionnaire, compared to Group I, statistical significant difference in the QoL was seen in Group II and III, indicating a meaningful and immediate improvement in the postoperative QoL following mPCNL. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Compared with standard and partial tubeless mPCNL, mPCNL with ureter catheter is a safe and useful form of mPCNL, which can offer better QoL and is more cost effective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000494212","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,9]],"date-time":"2018-11-09T22:08:20Z","timestamp":1541801300000},"page":"160-166","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy with Ureter Catheter: A Safe and Effective form of mPCNL Offers Better Quality of Life"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"102","author":[{"given":"Yucong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chao","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gaurab","family":"Pokhrel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaming","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Ouyang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiahua","family":"Gan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beichen","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhuo","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ejun","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhiqiang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,9]]},"container-title":["Urologia Internationalis"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/494212","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/494212","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T17:01:14Z","timestamp":1745427674000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000494212"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,21]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,26]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000494212","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0042-1138","1423-0399"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0042-1138"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0399"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,9]]}}}
