Value of Intraoperative Ultrasound in Decreasing Incidence of Residual Radiolucent Stones Post- Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the gold standard treatment for large renal calculi. The primary goal of treatment is absolute clearance of stone. The incidence of residual stones after PCNL ranges from 10% to 60% and may be higher in radiolucent stones. Aim of work: Our objective...

Aim of work: Our objective was to assess the effectiveness of the use of ultrasound during PCNL in patients with radiolucent stones in reducing the incidence of residual fragments postoperatively. Patients and Methods: This was a single center prospective study over a 6 year period. We identified 86 patients undergoing PCNL with radiolucent stones.
