Pregnants, anticogulant users, patients with bleeding diathesis pyonephrosis, and partial\/complete staghorn stones were excluded from the study. Patient characteristics, operative data and postoperative outcomes were assessed in detail.\n\n\t \n\n\tResults: The UMP was performed on 50 (34 right\/16 left) renal units of the 48 (28 male\/20 female) patients included in this study. The mean age and body mass index was 36.5 (2-83) years and 26.2 (17.6-32.8) kg\/m2, respectively. Mean stone size was calculated as 22.2 (10-55) mm. The mean durations of the operations and fluoroscopic examination were calculated as 65.4 (20-120) minutes and 89.4 (9-322) seconds, respectively. The mean duration of hospitalization was 1.4 (1-5) days. In 52% of the patients the procedure was terminated tubeless. Mean hemoglobin drop was 0.6 (0-3) g\/dL. Our series experienced a 10% complication rate. The UMP procedure was successful in 96% of the renal units at the 1st month control visit assessment.\n\n\t \n\n\tConclusion: The outcomes of our study have demonstrated that UMP is an effective and safe treatment modality, especially in the treatment of medium-sized renal calculi.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5152\/tud.2016.32644","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,24]],"date-time":"2016-11-24T01:20:47Z","timestamp":1479950447000},"page":"261-266","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The role of ultra-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the treatment of kidney stones"],"prefix":"10.5152","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Abdulkadir","family":"Tepeler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u0130smail","family":"Ba\u015f\u0131b\u00fcy\u00fck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammed","family":"Tosun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdullah","family":"Arma\u011fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3111","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,25]]},"container-title":["Urology Research and Practice"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/urologyresearchandpractice.org\/index.php\/pub\/article\/download\/2923\/2919","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,4]],"date-time":"2026-03-04T18:19:47Z","timestamp":1772648387000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/urologyresearchandpractice.org\/index.php\/pub\/article\/view\/2923"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,25]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5152\/tud.2016.32644","relation":{},"ISSN":["2980-1478"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2980-1478","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,25]]}}}
