Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine which type of percutaneous nephrolithotomy is better in large kidney stones

Detailed description

While there are several retrospective studies evaluating the efficacy of different lithotripter in percutaneous nephrolithotomy, there are few prospective studies in this regard. This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of Ultrasonic versus pneumatic percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treatment of large kidney stones.

Interventions

Pneumatic percutaneous nephrolithotomy is type of surgery that we use pneumatic lithotripter to treat kidney stone

PROCEDUREUltra-sonic percutaneous nephrolithotomy
