Summary

This prospective randomized controlled study will compare two techniques used after percutaneous nephrolithotomy, a procedure for removing kidney stones. Participants with renal stones measuring 2-3 cm will be randomly assigned to either tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy with nebulized Glubran 2 used to seal the access tract or conventional percutaneous nephrolithotomy with placement of a nephrostomy tube. The study will evaluate whether the Glubran 2-assisted tubeless technique is safe and effective and whether it can reduce postoperative pain, bleeding, hospital stay, urine leakage, and other complications while maintaining a satisfactory stone-free rate.

Conditions

  • Kidney Calculi
  • Nephrolithiasis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Nebulized Glubran 2-Assisted Tubeless PCNL

Following stone removal by percutaneous nephrolithotomy, 1 mL of Glubran 2 will be nebulized into the percutaneous access tract using a special applicator under endoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance. The tract will be temporarily occluded using a 16 Fr Foley catheter balloon, and no nephrostomy tube will be placed.

PROCEDURE

Conventional PCNL With Nephrostomy Tube

Following stone removal by percutaneous nephrolithotomy, a 24 Fr Nelaton tube will be placed as a nephrostomy tube for postoperative drainage and will generally be removed after approximately 24 hours according to the participant's clinical condition.
