Comparator Agent  Mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy using conventional sheath  After dilatation of percutaneous tract, conventional Amplatz sheath of 16Fr will be placed in tract and stone will be fragmented using Pneumatic lithotripsy. Total duration of intervention: operative time - approximately 30 minutes to 2.5 hours 
Intervention  Mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy using suction sheath  After dilatation of percutaneous tract, mPCNL using suction sheath, 14/16Fr ClearPetra® nephrostomy sheath will be placed at percutaneous access port and connected to negative vacuum aspiration machine (200mmHg). Total duration of intervention: operative time - approximately 30 minutes to 2.5 hours

Brief Summary  

Mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) is standard treatment for nephrolithiasis with greater advantages of comparable stone free rates and decreased complications as compared to standard PCNL. Application of suctioning systems in mPCNL has been found to further enhance the stone free rates and decrease the postoperative complications. In addition to this, as far as the literature search in Nepal is concerned, no randomized control trial has been published yet. This study aims to identify if mPCNL using suction sheath is safe and efficacious in the treatment of nephrolithiasis.

This is a hospital based randomised study. All the patients undergoing mPCNL at department of urology and kidney transplant surgery will be eligible for study. Patients will be divided into mPCNL using suction sheath and conventional sheath by simple random sampling and comparison of various intraoperative and post-operative parameters will be done to assess the safety and efficacy
