We are presenting our instrumental set for mini-percutaneous procedure (MIPP-set), manufactered in collaboration with RUSCH Medical Company, along with our indications and clinical experience.From January 2002 to December 2006, we treated with MIPP 63 patients. The procedures stone-free rate was 98,3%. The limits of this technique are: major operation times and consequently major costs; more difficulties in vision and operability. The advantages are: less trauma, reduction of bleeding, possibility of tubeless procedures and shorter recovery times. Supine position is certainly a step forward in terms of reducing operative times and percentage of clearance of the fragments. The progress mainly in optics and the miniaturization of instruments will make the procedure more useful and effective.

Abstract
We are presenting our instrumental set for mini-percutaneous procedure (MIPP-set), manufactered in collaboration with RUSCH Medical Company, along with our indications and clinical experience.From January 2002 to December 2006, we treated with MIPP 63 patients. The procedures stone-free rate was 98,3%. The limits of this technique are: major operation times and consequently major costs; more difficulties in vision and operability. The advantages are: less trauma, reduction of bleeding, possibility of tubeless procedures and shorter recovery times. Supine position is certainly a step forward in terms of reducing operative times and percentage of clearance of the fragments. The progress mainly in optics and the miniaturization of instruments will make the procedure more useful and effective.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
