summary

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy was done in 25 children aged from 30 months to 15 years. In 21 cases the concrements were removed completely, in 3 cases smali remaining concrements were exoreted later with urine, in one case addi­tional treatment by ESWL method was necessary. No important complications de-veloped. The procedures were done with the instruments used in adults. In view of smali size of the kidneys in children the procedure causes more difficulties and re±uires more experience acquired during similar procedures in adults.
