Aims Prone and supine positions for percutaneous nephrolithotomy are widely used but have their drawbacks. We report a new positioning method called “flank suspended supine position” (FSSP) for PCNL and describe our experience with PCNL in this position to evaluate its safety and efficacy. Methods Retrospective study of 150 cases of renal stone patients treated with PCNL in a new position called flank suspended supine position (FSSP) from June 2009 to July 2010. All patients were treated with PCNL in FSSP under epidural anesthesia. Operation time, bleeding rate, stone free rate, and complications were recorded. Results All patients tolerated FSSP. Mean operation time was 78.29±26.13 min. Initial stone-free rate was 83%. For those with residual stones (26 cases), 18 were stone-free after a second PCNL, 8 after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Mean hospital stay was 7.63±2.39 days. No penetrating injury of the pleural cavity or injury to visceral organs was reported. Summary FSSP is an effective and safe position for PCNL in our hands and its effectiveness relative to traditional prone position needs to be determined in future randomized studies.

Background: Urolithiasis is one of the common diseases of the urinary system, with an incidence of approximately 5-10% among the general population. Among the minimally invasive surgeries, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the gold standard therapy for large and/or complex renal stones. Objective: The study was carried out to predict the stone-free rate after PCNL by using the Guy's stone score. Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Urology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, (BSMMU), Dhaka from February 2016 to January 2017. The patients with renal stone attending the outpatient department who met the criteria of standard PCNL. Results: Atotal of 52 patients with renal stone were included in this study.  The mean age was to be found 45.3±14.0 with range of 18 to 73 years. Male to female ratio was 3.3:1. Almost three fourth (74.5%) patients had normal body mass index. All patients had normal anatomy. More than half 27 of the (51.9%) patients had found grade I, 10 (19.2%) Grade II, 11(21.2%) Grade III and 4 (7.7%) Grade IV. Nearly two third 34 (65.4%) patients were found total stone cleared and 18(34.6%) had residual stone. Cleared stone was found 23(85.2%) in grade I, 7(70.0%) grade II, 3(27.3%) in grade III and 1(25.0%) in grade IV. Conclusion: Based on the study findings, it may be concluded that higher the GSS less the stone free rate.It will help in better patient counseling preoperatively, and to predict the need for ancillary treatment.

Purpose To clarify the outcome of flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) for management of renal calculi without preoperative stenting. Methods A total of 171 patients who received 176 fURS procedures for unilateral renal stones were reviewed. All procedures were divided into two groups depending on whether they received ureteral stenting preoperatively. Baseline characteristics of patients, stone burden, operation time, stone-free rates, and complications were compared between both groups. Results Successful primary access to the renal pelvis was achieved in 104 of 114 (91.2%) patients without preoperative stenting, while all procedures with preoperative stenting (n = 62) were successfully performed. A total of 156 procedures were included for further data analysis (56 procedures in stenting group and 100 in non-stenting group). No significant differences was found regardless of a preoperative stent placement in terms of stone-free rate (73.2% with stenting vs. 71.0% without, P = 0.854), operative time (70.4 ± 32.8 with stenting vs. 70.2 ± 32.1 without, P = 0.969). Conclusions fURS for management of renal stone without preoperative ureteral stenting are associated with well outcome in short term follow-up. Our study may help patients and doctors to decide if an optional stent is placed or not.

Introduction: Mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) are well-established techniques with little morbidity. The combined use of standard PCNL and the mini-PCNL or the RIRS technique was evaluated and compared to investigate their own role in the management of staghorn calculi in solitary kidney. Materials and Methods: 23 patients received combined standard PCNL and mini-PCNL (group 1), and 22 patients received combined standard PCNL and RIRS (group 2). The treatment results and complications were evaluated and compared. Results: The mean operation time was 128.8 ± 9.1 min in group 1 and 109.8 ± 10.7 min in group 2 (p < 0.001). The decrease in hemoglobin level in group 1 was significantly higher than that in group 2 (3.5 ± 0.6 vs. 2.1 ± 0.5 g/dl, p < 0.001). The final stone-free rate was significantly higher (p = 0.038) in group 2 (90.9%) than in group 1 (65.2%). Conclusions: Combined standard PCNL and RIRS technique can extract the majority of staghorn calculi quickly by PCNL with EMS Lithoclast, and RIRS used simultaneously can reduce the need for multiple tracts and therefore reduce blood loss and potential morbidity related to multiple tracts, shorten the operation time and achieve a high stone-free rate.

Background: The decision for using supine or prone position in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is still debatable. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety profile of the supine and prone position when performing PCNL. Methods: A systematic electronic search was performed using the database from MEDLINE, Cochrane library and Google Scholar from January 2009 to November 2019. The outcomes assessed were stone free rate, major complication rate, length of hospital stay and mean operation time. Results: A total of 11 articles were included in qualitative and quantitative analysis. The efficacy of PCNL in supine position as determined by stone free rate is significantly lower than in prone position (OR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.66 – 0.83; p<0.00001), However, major complication rate is also lower in the supine group compared with the prone group (OR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.51 – 0.96; p=0.03). There is no statistically significant difference in the length of hospital stay and mean operation time between both groups. Conclusion: Prone position leads to a higher stone free rate, but also a higher rate of major complication. Thus, the decision of using which position during PCNL should be based on the surgeon’s experience and clinical aspects of the patients.

<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The aim of this study was to provide a randomized controlled trial comparing the outcomes of different access sizes used in the solo ultrasonic-guided minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> From January 2018 to December 2019, a total of 160 cases with single renal stones of &#x3c;25 mm were randomized to undergo mini-PCNLs with Fr16, Fr18, Fr20, or Fr22 accesses. All accesses were established with the axis of the target calyx as the marker for puncture location and then expanded to the desired size. Hemoglobin reduction, operative time, stone-free rate, complications, etc., were all recorded and assessed. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The demographic data were similar, and there were no significantly intergroup differences in stone-free rate, complications, and hospital stay time. The hemoglobin reduction was comparable and was 0.9 ± 0.6, 0.9 ± 0.7, 1.0 ± 0.5, and 1.1 ± 0.7 g/dL for the groups Fr16, Fr18, Fr20, and Fr22, respectively. The operative time was 53.4 ± 14.5, 48.5 ± 15.2, 42.8 ± 13.3, and 43.3 ± 13.1 min for the 4 groups, which decreased significantly from group Fr16 to Fr20, but there was no significant difference between Fr20 and Fr22 groups. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The axis of target calyx is a reliable marker for establishment of percutaneous renal access under ultrasonic guidance. The surgical outcomes of different access sizes were comparable, but the operation time was significantly shortened with the increase of size. However, Fr22 was not more efficient than Fr20.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between stone location and stone location in kidney stone to the stone-free rate after Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) procedure. Material & method: This is a non-experimental research using descriptive analytic method with retrospective study design that takes data from patient medical record diagnosis of urinary tract stones and ESWL action from January 2011 until December 2013 in the Department of Surgery Division of Urology General Hospital H. Adam Malik, Medan. Results: It was found that if the size of the stone only is the only factor that counts in patients who get a urinary tract stones ESWL therapy, it is not found a statistically significant relationship. Stone location plays an important role in the incidence of stone-free patients with urinary tract stones ESWL therapy. Conclusion: ESWL therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of patients with kidney stones is not only determined by the size and location of the stone, but is also determined by the number of stones, stone composition, frequency ESWL is used, and the thickness of the skin of the patient.

Objectives: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy on staghorn calculi is challenging for urologists because it is difficult to remove all of the stones. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associated factors of stone-free rate after primary percutaneous nephrolithotomy on staghorn calculi in a large series of patients at a single, tertiary referral, endourologic stone center. Methods: We collected data from medical record between January 2000 and December 2015. A total of 345 primary percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedures were performed for patients with staghorn calculi. This study included both and made no distinction between partial and complete staghorn calculi. Stone-free is defined as the absence of residual stones after undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy for the first time. Significant factors from univariate analysis that correlated with stone-free rate after primary percutaneous nephrolithotomy of staghorn stone were further analyzed using multivariate regression analysis. Results: The mean patient age was 52.23±10.38 years. The stone-free rate of percutaneous nephrolithotomy monotherapy was 62.6%. The mean operating time was 79.55±34.46 minutes. The mean length of stay in hospital was 4.29±3.00 days. Using the chi-square test, history of ipsilateral open renal stone surgery (p = 0.01), stone burden (p = < 0.001), and type of anesthesia (p = 0.04) had a significant impact on the stone-free. From multivariate analysis, the history of ipsilateral open renal stone surgery [OR 0.48; 95% CI 0.28-0.81; p 0.01] and the stone burden [OR 0.28; 95% CI 0.18-0.45; p 0.00] were significant independent risk factors for stone-free.

Background: The aim of the study is the compare efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy in supine and prone positions. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is conventionally performed in prone position but in recent years numbers of supine percutaneous nephrolithotomies is increasing globally.Methods: The hospital based cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Urology, Bir Hospital from July 2018 to January 2020. A total of 81 consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy were divided into two groups, with 38 patients in Supine (Group 1) and 43 patients in Prone (Group 2) positions, respectively. Patient’s demographics, access time, operative duration, stone free rate, radiation dose and duration, irrigation fluid volume, post-operative hemoglobin drop and complications were compared.Results: Demographic and stone characteristics were comparable in both groups. Supine Group (Group 1) had significantly shorter operative duration than Prone Group (Group 2), 44.63 ± 12.44minsvs 53.02 ±12.67mins (p< 0.04). The mean radiation duration was 99.11 ± 61.17secs in Group 1 and 108.40 ± 51.65 secs in Group 2 (p=0.46), respectively. Although the mean radiation dose was lower in Group 1 (375.1µGym2) than in Group 2 (465.7 µGym2), it was not statistically significant(p=0.24). The stone free rate at 1 month duration were comparable with 92.1% and 93.02% in Group 1 and Group 2 respectively (p=0.16). Overall complication rates were similar in both groups (15.7% in Group 1 vs 16.2% in Group 2), respectively. None of the patients in both groups had complications higher than Clavien IIIa.Conclusions: PCNL in supine position has significantly shorter operative time with similar complications and stone free rates as compared to prone position.Keywords: percutaneous nephrolithotomy; prone position; supine position

Objective. To investigate the efficacy and safety of the oblique supine lithotomy during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to treat upper urinary calculi. Methods. Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed for 371 patients with upper urinary calculi who underwent PCNL at The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to October 2020. Based on different positions, patients were divided into the observation group (oblique supine lithotomy position, 155 cases, Group 1) or control group (prone position, 216 cases, Group 2). Groups were compared for effectiveness, complications, bleeding, surgical time, clinical indicators, and hospitalization time. Results. There were no significant differences in the clinical baseline data between the two groups ( p > .05). However, the stone-free rate for patients was significantly higher in the observation than in the control group ( p < .05). Both operation time and hospital stay time were significantly lower in the observation versus the control groups ( p < .05). No significant differences were observed for complications or amount of blood loss ( p > .05). Conclusion. In patients with upper urinary calculi, percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the oblique supine lithotomy position has a higher stone-free rate than the prone position. This approach can shorten the operation and provide better comfort and quicker recovery to the patients. A further advantage is that there is no difference in safety and blood loss between the prone position and the oblique lithotomy position.
