Supine Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

Journal of Endourology, 2022
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has evolved many a fold and was originally described in supine position by Valdivia et al. In this position, the direction of the tract is posterior and thus preserves a low pressure in the renal pelvis, and thereby reduces the risk of fluid absorption and allows spontaneous clearance/washout of fragments by gravity ...
