A corrigendum on Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy with an endoscopic surgical monitoring system for the management of renal stones: A retrospective evaluation by Gui H, Wang H, Kaushik D, Rodriguez R and Wang Z (2022). Front. Surg. 9:773270. doi: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.773270

In the published article, there was an error caused by incorrect writing. A correction has been made to the Abstract of Section. This sentence previously stated:

“… however, the patients in the ESMS-mPNL group had significantly longer operation times than those in the non-ESMS-mPNL subgroup, along with marked reductions in irrigation fluid absorption, blood loss, haemoglobin loss, 12 h postoperative VAS score, mean hospitalization time, and return to work time.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“… however, the patients in the ESMS-mPNL group had significantly longer irrigation times than those in the non-ESMS-mPNL subgroup, along with marked reductions in irrigation fluid, blood loss, haemoglobin loss, 12 h postoperative VAS score, mean hospitalization time, and return to work time.”

In the published article, there was an error in the legend for [Table 4] as published. [Caused by incorrect writing].

The corrected [Table 4] and its caption **[Comparison of operative data and complications for Non-ESMS-mPNL vs ESMS-mPNL groups.] appear below.

Table 4.

In the published article, there were some errors caused by incorrect writing.

A correction has been made to the Results of Section. This sentence previously stated:

“[A longer irrigation time (52.0 ± 18.3 vs. 42.2 ± 14.1 min) and a larger volume of absorbed fluid (712 ± 95 vs. 502 ± 102 ml) were observed in the patients in the ESMS-mPNL group compared with those in the non-ESMS-mPNL group (P = 0.005 and P < 0.001, respectively).]”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“[A longer irrigation time (52.0 ± 18.3 vs. 42.2 ± 14.1 min) and a smaller volume of absorbed fluid (502 ± 102 vs. 712 ± 95 ml) were observed in the patients in the ESMS-mPNL group compared with those in the non-ESMS-mPNL group (P = 0.005 and P < 0.001, respectively).]”

Two corrections have been made to the Discussion of Section. This sentence previously stated:

“[The ESMS-mPNL group had a significantly longer irrigation time and a larger volume of fluid absorbed than the non-ESMS-mPNL group (but these values were clinically comparable),]”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“[The ESMS-mPNL group had a significantly longer irrigation time and a smaller volume of fluid absorbed than the non-ESMS-mPNL group (but these values were clinically comparable),]”

This sentence previously stated:

“[The volume of fluid absorbed during ESMS-mPNL increased significantly compared to the non-ESMS-mPNL group, and the endoscopic surgical monitoring system might promote better fluid absorption during ESMS-mPNL than during non-ESMS-mPNL.]”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“[The volume of fluid absorbed during ESMS-mPNL decreased significantly compared to the non-ESMS-mPNL group, and the endoscopic surgical monitoring system might promote better fluid absorption during ESMS-mPNL than during non-ESMS-mPNL.]”

We apologize for this mistake and declare that this correction will not change the scientific conclusion of this article. The original article has been updated.
