Ultrasound-guided fluoro for kidney stones cuts radiation to kids

AuntMinnie

Fluoroscopy-assisted ultrasound guidance for mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) procedures in children is a safer and more effective approach than fluoroscopy alone, researchers have found. The investigators tracked complication rate and fluoroscopy time. The group's research was published March 13 in Urology. "[Our
