Introduction: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has undergone significant changes with time to improve efficacy, decrease size of incision and thereby reducing morbidity. Newer minimally-invasive modalities of PCNL such as mini-PCNL, ultra-mini PCNL, and micro-PCNL have evolved with advancement in optics and technology. We here in describe a technique with which minimally invasive PCNL can be performed in centres without ESWL and without standardised equipment for micro-PCNL (<10Fr). Method: Micro PCNL can be performed with the help of a rigid uretroscope (4.5 Fr Wolf URS) Results: Using Micro PCNL by decreasing the tract size, the risk of haemorrhage and organ injury can be decreased while maintaining adequate stone clearance.
