Abstract
Abstract Objective: To compare the outcome of treatment planning using multislice
computed tomography (CT) or intravenous urography (IVU) for supine percutaneous
nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
Patients and methods: The study included 60 patients with renal stones, all treated
by supine PCNL, between March 2011 and October 2012. The patients were divided
randomly into two equal groups; in group 1 30 patients had the PCNL access
planned based on IVU findings, and in group 2 the PCNL access was planned based
on multislice CT images. All patients were suitable for PCNL, based on a plain
abdominal film and ultrasonography, and with a body mass index of
computed tomography (CT) or intravenous urography (IVU) for supine percutaneous
nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
