No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is an effective and guideline-recommended surgical technique for the treatment of large and complex renal stones; however, perioperative bleeding remains one of its most significant complications. Reported bleeding and transfusion rates vary widely in the literature, potentially due to differences in surgical technique, surgeon experience, and institutional practices.

This retrospective, single-center study aims to evaluate perioperative and postoperative bleeding outcomes, transfusion requirements, and bleeding-related complications in patients who underwent PCNL performed by a single surgeon. The findings are intended to clarify whether the real-world bleeding risk associated with PCNL is lower than commonly reported.

Conditions

  • Urolithiasis

Interventions

PROCEDURE
