Surgical outcomes of Modified supine vs Prone position in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Aim: To compare the surgical outcomes of PCNLs performed using our modified supine position with those performed in the standard prone position Materials and Methods: 60 patients undergoing Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, at Department of Urology, Government Stanley Medical College & Hospital, between June 2016 to Jan 2017, were included in the study, and randomized to two groups of 30 each, the former undergoing PCNL in modified supine position and the latter undergoing Prone PCNL. Operative time, radiation time, number of punctures, stone free rate, length of hospital stay, and complications were compared. Results: There were no differences in number of punctures,stone free or complication rates, between both groups. However, the modified supine group had a lower mean radiation time, operative time and a shorter length of hospital stay. Conclusion: Modified supine PCNL has significantly lower radiation and operative times, has a shorter length of stay, while being as safe as traditional prone PCNL
