Abstract
Radiation exposure during treatment of pediatric stone disease is not trivial, and is significantly greater when PCNL is performed. Given the recommended maximum effective dose of 50Â mSv in any one year, urologists should closely monitor the amount of fluoroscopy used, and consider the potential for radiation exposure when choosing the operative approach. Prospective studies are currently underway to elucidate precise dose measurements and localize sites of radiation exposure in children during stone treatment.
