Summary

To evaluate the effect of the T-tilted position on the stone-free rate compared to the standard lithotomy position in retrograde intrarenal surgeries.

Common positions include the Trendelenburg position, where the patient is tilted head-down to help gravity move stones from the upper calyces to the renal pelvis, and the modified lateral decubitus position, which improves access to the lower renal poles. A more recent approach, the modified T-tilt position, combines a slight Trendelenburg tilt with lateral positioning, offering optimal access to both the upper and lower calyces while maintaining patient comfort

Conditions

  • Stone, Kidney

Interventions

PROCEDURE

T-tilting of the patient during surgery

Patients will be placed at the T-Tilt position (15 degrees Trendelenburg and 15 degrees away from the surgical side kidney) during surgery.

PROCEDURE
