Abstract:

 Objective: To study the outcome of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedures for renalstone management.
Setting: Urology Unit, Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain.

Result: Twenty-five patients were reviewed. Only one case had failed access. The majority of ourpatients were of young age group, a mean age of 39 years. Fifteen (60%) patients were diagnosed tohave renal stone by the combination of KUB and IVP; most of the stone sizes were >2 cm, 21(87.5%).The overall stone clearance rate was 19 (76%) and the overall complications rate reported was 5(20%).
