Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Safety

Background:

  • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCN) is a common procedure for kidney stone removal.
  • Regularly performing PCN exposes surgeons to potential radiation injury.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the results of 55 consecutive percutaneous nephrolithotomy cases.
  • To analyze the implications of radiation exposure for surgeons performing PCN.

Main Methods:

  • Review of 55 consecutive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCN) cases.
  • Analysis of radiation exposure risks associated with the PCN procedure.

Main Results:

  • The study details outcomes from 55 percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCN) procedures.
  • Findings highlight the occupational hazards, specifically radiation exposure, for surgeons.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCN) carries inherent risks of radiation exposure for surgeons.
  • Regular performance of PCN necessitates careful consideration of protective measures against radiation injury.
