Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Nephrology

Context:

  • This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) for treating kidney stones.
  • The research covers a period from October 1985 to June 1993, involving 409 patients and 500 PNL procedures.

Purpose:

  • To assess the outcomes of PNL, including stone-free rates and complication incidence.
  • To compare the position of PNL with other operative methods for urolithiasis treatment.

Summary:

  • A total of 500 PNL procedures were performed on 409 patients over eight years.
  • 30% of operations utilized mechanical, electrohydraulic, or ultrasound lithotripsy.
  • Serious complications occurred in 2% of operations, with no emergency nephrectomies required. Residual stones were noted in 7% of patients.

Impact:

  • PNL demonstrates a favorable safety profile with minimal severe complications.
  • The findings contribute to understanding the role of PNL in the management of urolithiasis.
  • This research provides historical data on PNL outcomes and its comparative standing in surgical treatment options.
