Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Mini PCNL  After general anaesthesisa , a uretric catheter wll be placed into the renal pelvis after placing the child in lithotomy position.In children less than 5 years old a 4 Fr uretric catheter and in children more than 5 years old a 5 Fr uretric catheter will be placed using 0.018 inch toremo guide wire.In prone position under fluoroscopy target calyx was punctured using 18 gauge diamond tip trocar needle.Then a straight tip 0.032 inch toremo guide wire will be placed in PCS. tract dilated upto 17.5 Fr using fascial and metal dilators gradually.Karl storz 12Fr mini PCNL nephroscope used to clear stones.Holmium YAG laser used to dust or fragmaent the stones.Residual stones are cleared using alligater forcep or by vacuum cleaning effect.After confirming endoscopic and fluoroscopic stone clearance decision to place 12 fr nephrostomy and DJ stent to be taken by operating urologist.Operative details like type of puncture , lasing time , total operative time , post operative complications and hospital stay will be recorded.  
Comparator Agent  RIRS  After general anaesthesia the child will be placed in lithotomy position. 0.032 inch guide wire placed in ipsilateral ureter and using 4.5/6 Fr semirigid uretroscope , uretroscopy done.If ureter is capacious enough to allow uretric access sheath(UAS) ,it is placed just below pelvi uretric junction.If ureter is not capacious than appropriate size DJ stent is placed to dilate it , after 2 to 3 weeks of stent placement a repaet RIRS will be attemted.A fibreoptic/digital flexible uretrorenoscope will be introduced into the UAS till the pelvicalyceal system and renal calculus visualised.If placement of UAS fails , direct placement of flexible uretrorenoscope over guide wire attempted and if successful procedare performed without UAS.How ever if placing flexible uretrorenoscope fails even after DJ stent placement then over all procedure will be converted to mini PCNL. RIRS will be performed using manual 50 ml syringe pumps a line irrigation. The stone will be ablated using Holmium YAG laser using 200 micron laser fiber(30 W , QUANTA LITHO).The stone is dusted/fragmented and residue removed using basket.Total procedure time and lasing time noted seoarately.At end of procedure appropriate size DJ stent and per urethral catheter placed in all children.

Brief Summary   It is a prospective double blinded , parallel group , single center randomized controlled trial comparing mini pecutaneous nephrolithoyomy (Mini PCNL) vs retrograde intra renal surgery ((RIRS) in moderate sized (10-20mm)  pediatric renal stones with primary objective to compare stone free rate following 1month after surgery in each arm of Mini PCNL and RIRS .The secondary objective is to compare 30 day major clavien dindo ( class I and V) complications , operative time , duration of hospital stay , emergency readmision rate till 30 day following surgery.
