Article Synopsis
- Supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (s-PCNL) is being evaluated for its safety and effectiveness in treating renal pelvis stones in Malaysia, involving a study of 115 patients from November 2020 to May 2023.
- The study found that single middle calyceal renal access (MCA) had a higher stone-free rate compared to other access methods, with very few major complications or need for blood transfusions.
- The results suggest that s-PCNL is a safe and efficient treatment, particularly for patients undergoing additional endourological procedures, with an average hospital stay of about 2.9 days.
