Recurrent stones were in 12 patients. Intraoperative and early postoperative complications, blood transfusion and hospital stay were recorded. The data were analyzed SPSS for Windows version 20.
Results: Mean age was 39.88 ± 13.5 years. Mean operative time was 58.75 ± 24.8 minutes. The range of hospital stay was 1-10 days. Bleeding was the most common complication( 25%) of cases. The stone clearance status of percutaneous nephrolithotomy monotherapy after only one session was achieved in 22 cases (68.75%). Second session was needed in 6 cases to achieve complete clearance.
