Supine access for percutaneous nephrolithotomy: A simple and feasible option - Abstract

Supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a less practiced modality for the treatment of upper-tract calculi.

We hereby present our single center experience in 100 patients treated by supine PCNL over a period of 18 months. We found the procedure simple and feasible.
