Özet
During infancy, the renal parenchyma and pelvicalyceal system are relatively fragile. Therefore, percutaneous nephrolithotomy for the management of renal stones in this age group is a challenging procedure for urologists. Herein, we present the uneventful management of bilateral renal stones using micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy (microperc) administered to a 7-month-old infant with recurrent urinary tract infections. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of the microperc procedure are discussed. As far as we know, our patient is the youngest case in whom the microperc procedure has been performed.
