['We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) in infants and small children (12-36 months).', 'The PNL applications conducted in children <3 years of age in two centers were evaluated. Whereas pediatric PNL instrumentation was used in the first center, adult-size instrumentation was utilized in the second center. The complications were given according to the modified Clavien classification system.', 'The mean age of the patients was 22.76 months (5-36 months) and the mean body weight was 11.51 kg (6-15 kg). In twelve renal units, pediatric instrumentation was used and among these, two had miniperc. In the other eight renal units, adult-size instrumentation was employed. Except for the patient with complex renal stones, all patients were stone free after the intervention and none required a conversion to open surgery. There were grade 1-2 complications in 3 patients. The postoperative hemoglobin drop was greater in the children who underwent PNL with adult-size instrumentation.'] Is percutaneous nephrolithotomy highly efficient and safe in infants and children under 3 years of age?
