    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Renal stones pose a significant clinical challenge.
    • Minimally invasive surgical techniques are increasingly preferred for stone management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for renal stone treatment.
    • To assess the learning curve and overall success rate of PCNL.

    Main Methods:

    • A series of 48 patients underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
    • Data on success rates and procedural outcomes were collected and analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy demonstrated an 89% success rate.
    • The procedure's effectiveness improved after an initial learning phase.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a viable and successful method for surgical renal stone management.
    • The technique is suitable for implementation across various Urology Departments.
