Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) in a supine position in selected cases with renal stones. Materials and methods: This descriptive study enrolled 120 patients who presented to the urology department at Benha Faculty of Medicine with renal stones between June 2009 and June 2010. All patients were evaluated based on their history, a physical examination, kidney, ureter, bladder (KUB), pelviabdominal U/S and spiral CT of the abdomen and pelvis without contrast or IVP in selected cases. The patients were followed up for postoperative pain, leakage and fever. Perinephric collection with ultrasound (U/S) was performed, and the Hb% and hematocrit were determined after 12 hours. Results: The access to the stones was achieved through the lower calyx (70.8%) and middle calyx (29.2%) with a stone clearance rate of 100%, and there was no need for a 2nd session. The mean operative time was (67.1±19.2 min.), and the mean length of the hospital stay was (3.4±1.7 days). Three cases had perinephric collections
