TLDR
PCNL in supine position is safe, effective and suitable for the patients, and offers the potential advantages of better urethral access, less patient handling, needing drape only once, ability to perform simultaneous PCNL and ureteroscopic procedures, thus reducing over-all operative time compared to traditional prone position and performing PCNL while the surgeon is sitting.Abstract:
Purpose: PCNL (percutaneous nephrolithotripsy) is usually performed in the prone position. The supine position has potential advantages comparing with the prone position. Our objective is comparison between the outcome of PCNL in the complete supine position and the standard prone position. Material and Methods: A total of 80 patients who underwent PCNL from February 2008 to June 2008 evaluated in a prospective manner, were randomly divided into two groups: 40 patients underwent prone PCNL and 40 patients underwent complete supine PCNL. We performed complete supine PCNL with no rolled towel under the flank and no change in leg position. Results in both positions were compared regarding technical aspects, operative time, stone free rate, complications and hospital stay, and were analyzed using t-test and chi–square. We considered P < 0.05 as significant. Results: Regardless the position, the pelvicaliceal system could be successfully approached in all patients. Mean operative time in supine group was 74.7 ...read more

TL;DR: Complications after PNL can be kept to a minimum in experienced hands with the development of new techniques and improved technology and a modified procedure-specific Clavien classification should be established that would need to be validated in prospective trials.

TL;DR: The choice of patient position should be tailored to individual patient characteristics and the surgeon's preference, since operative time and stone-free rates favor prone PCNL, but patient safety favors supine PCNL.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of percutaneous nephrolithotomy for patients in the supine versus prone position
TL;DR: PCNL in the supine position took a shorter operative time than the prone position, but both positions appeared to be equivalent with regard to the stone-free rate and complication rate, transfusion rate, and fever rate.

TL;DR: For general patients with kidney calculi, PCNL in supine position has similar stone-free rate compared with prone and the operative times significantly decrease, which do not increase related complications.

TL;DR: Percutaneous nephroscopy is usually performed with the patient prone, which is uncomfortable for the patient and does not prevent damage to the colon, so the possibility of performing percutaneous nephroscopy using local anesthesia with the customer supine is assessed, and advantages and complications are evaluated.
