Brief summary

To overcome the learning curve of purely ultrasound guided PCNL, we hypothesize the possibility of percutaneous nephrostomy as a training means for purely ultrasound guided PCNL.

Interventions

intervention: as a training means, novice urologists will undertake 10 cases of percutaneous nephrostomy during six months before doing percutaneous nephrolithotomy independently. All the manipulation was supervised by a senior urologist who are completent in percutaneous nephrostomy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. And the urologists' independent percutaneous nephrolithotomy is part of this trial.
