    Percutaneous nephrolithotomy effectively removed 90% of kidney stones in 137 patients, offering a minimally invasive option with faster recovery than open surgery. This procedure achieved a high success rate and few complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Renal calculi (kidney stones) pose a significant health challenge.
    • Traditional open surgery for kidney stones can involve prolonged recovery.
    • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) offers a less invasive approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the outcomes of elective percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
    • To assess the efficacy and safety of PCNL in a consecutive series of patients.
    • To compare recovery times with open surgical procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 137 consecutive elective percutaneous nephrolithotomy cases.
    • All procedures performed in a single session under general anesthesia.
    • Radiological guidance used for puncture, dilation, and nephrostomy tube placement.

  • Endoscopic lithotomy performed for stone removal.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful stone removal in 90% of targeted calculi.
    • Adequate tract formation achieved in 94.9% of cases.
    • Average anesthesia time of 90 minutes and mean hospitalization of 6 days.
    • Low complication rates observed.
    • Patients experienced earlier return to work compared to open surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Elective percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a highly effective procedure for renal calculi removal.
    • The single-session approach minimizes patient burden and hospital stay.
    • PCNL provides a favorable alternative to open surgery, with quicker patient recovery.
