Abstract
Aditya Yelikar, Vivek Josh
Presently, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is preferred as a safe and effective way to remove large or multiple upper urinary tract calculi [1-7]. An increase in PCNL has been accompanied by variations in positions, techniques, and instruments and these may have led to increased complications [1, 2, 4, 5]. Following PCNL, 79.5% of patients may experience an uncomplicated postoperative period, although there are reports of an early complication rate of 50.8% [4, 5, 8].
