Abstract
Elective percutaneous nephrolithotomy in 50 consecutive patients is reviewed. Of the 50 patients 24 had never had a renal operation. Radiological puncture, dilation and subsequent placement of a nephrostomy tube were done in a single session when possible. An adequate tract was formed in 84% of the cases. Of 42 patients who presented for endoscopic lithotomy 71% had completely successful removal of the calculi. The mean hospital stay was 8.3 days.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
