Percutaneous nephrolithotomy: one stage or two?

J E Wickham, R A Miller, M J Kellett

    British Journal of Urology
    |December 1, 1984

    Summary

    Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is a safe and effective treatment for kidney stones. Single-stage PNL offers comparable safety to two-stage procedures, but requires experienced surgeons and adequate equipment.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) pose a significant health burden.
    • Traditional open stone surgery has high morbidity.
    • Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has limitations for certain stone types and sizes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) for kidney stone removal.
    • To compare single-stage versus two-stage PNL approaches.
    • To assess PNL as an alternative to open surgery and ESWL.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 250 percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) cases.
    • Categorization of cases into single-stage (100 cases) and two-stage (150 cases) treatment groups.
    • Comparison of outcomes based on treatment approach.

    Main Results:

    • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) demonstrated favorable outcomes compared to open stone surgery.
    • Single-stage PNL was found to be as safe as the two-stage method.
    • PNL is a viable alternative to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is a preferred option over open stone surgery.
    • Single-stage PNL is safe but recommended for experienced practitioners with adequate instrumentation.
    • PNL offers a valuable alternative for kidney stone management.
