Abstract
The authors review a series of 100 consecutive patients treated by elective percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The success rate was 83%, and the complication rate, under 2%. For these reasons, percutaneous nephrolithotomy is becoming an established procedure for the surgical management of kidney stones. After an initial phase, the one-stage manipulation was performed with a mean hospital stay of 4 days in 70% of cases.
