Percutaneous nephrolithotomy in complete supine flank-free position in comparison to prone position: A single-centre experience

Conclusion Supine PCNL is a feasible procedure with similar outcomes in terms of stone-free rate as well as postoperative complications, to the standard prone PCNL. It reduces unnecessary delay that occurs during change of position resulting in significant shortening of the total operation time and surgeons can perform supine PCNL whilst sitting.
