Abstract

Objective: The prone position for percutaneous nephrolithomy (PCNL) has been widely practiced. There has been a shift from prone position to supine position which showed numerous benefits. The aim of our study is to describe the 5 year experience from the perspective of a tertiary care center using a modified Galdakao supine Valdivia position for total tubeless ultra mini supine PCNL, total tubeless supine PCNL, tubeless supine PCNL, and standard supine PCNL. Material and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 90 patients who underwent supine PCNL at the tertiary care center during the period of 5 years from January 2017 to January 2021. The data collection was done from patients’ medical records. Pre operatively, complete examination of the patients with laboratory investigations were done. The modified Clavien classification system was used to classify the perioperative complications of PCNL. Results: Operative time was lowest for ultra mini supine PCNL (50 ± 10.4 min) compared to standard supine PCNL (58 ± 11.2 min). Stones were single in 54 patients and multiple in 40 patients with 4 patients with staghorn stones. The size of the stones in the largest dimension ranged from 1.2 to 5.5 cm.Complete clearance was achieved in 84 (89.7%) patients. Seven patients (7.2%) developed mild fever and four patients (4.5%) required blood transfusion. Conclusion: We found supine PCNL to be an immensely convenient, time-saving practice, and with higher stone free rate compared to prone PCNL. The different techniques of supine PCNL were also useful in patients with horseshoe kidney and calyceal diverticulum which resulted in good outcomes in these patients.
