Urinary stone is a worldwide disease and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the most commonly used operation for staghorn calculi. Research indicated that SFR for staghorn calculi in one stage of PCNL showed 50%-91% results, under standard operation, standard instrument and professional treatment route. The present study aimed to explore the clinical factors of stone free rates (SFR) after ...

PURPOSE This study evaluated postoperative complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and the influence of selected factors on the risk of complications using the Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society (CROES) PCNL Global Study database. PATIENTS AND METHODS The CROES PCNL Global Study collected prospective data for consecutive patients who were treated with PCNL at ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of pediatric percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) using adult sized instruments in the management of pediatric urolithiasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 38 children younger than 15 years who had undergone 45 PCNLs with adult sized instruments in our center between August 2007 and February 2010.

Introduction: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is one of the greatest advances in field urology and has been considered gold standard treatment renal calculi more than 2 cm size. While both supine prone positions offer their unique advantages, it still being debated which position offers most terms surgical outcomes. We have evaluated two approaches operative time, success rate, stone cleara...

INTRODUCTION Pulmonary complications may occur in the post-operative period and are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing anesthesia and surgery. Complication rates vary according to different procedures and different types of anesthesia and may be affected by the patient condition. The purpose of this study was to examine pulmonary complications following percut...

PURPOSE Although percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has been accepted as a standard method for the management of large renal stones, the incidence of renal hemorrhage is relatively high. This study investigated the variables that affect bleeding during PCNL. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of 370 patients who underwent PCNL by a single surgeon from January 2005 to December 2010 wer...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of immediate versus delayed shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) for inaccessible stones after uncomplicated percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). PATIENTS AND METHODS Between December 2011 and June 2014, patients with residual inaccessible stones after uncomplicated PCNL were prospectively randomised into two treatment groups; Group I, immediate SWL and Gr...

MAIN FINDINGS We describe the use of a novel endoscopic approach in the management of unremitting gross hematuria following post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in a 65-years-old male. This approach proved successful and cost-effective in managing haemorrhage post-PCNL when renal angiography failed to localize the source of bleeding. Case hypothesis: The recommended treatment modality for r...

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common surgical method used for the treatment of renal calculi. Post-operative pain due to dilatation capsule, parenchymal tract and peritubal distressing nephrostomy tube. Addition ultrasound guided paravertebral block multimodal postoperative analgesic regimen after general anaesthesia can achieve adequate somatic visceral sensory blockade ...
