Predictive factors for percutaneous nephrolithotomy outcomes in neurogenic bladder population.

Purpose: To review experience performing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on patients with neurogenic bladder, evaluating predictors for increased length of stay (LOS), intensive care unit (ICU) stay, stone-free rate, and number of procedures and outcomes measures between spinal cord injury (SCI) and spina bifida (SB) patients.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our PCNLs from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2009 and identified 47 patients. Data collected included LOS, ICU stay, stone-free rate, complications, and total procedures.
