Factors Predicting Pleural Complication Following Upper Pole Access Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Journal Title: International Archives of Urology and Complications - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) via upper-pole access can be achieved either supracostally and subcostally. The supracostal access is associated with a higher rate of pulmonary complication. We studied the factors, which predict the pulmonary complication following upper pole access PCNL and postoperative outcomes of patients with pulmonary complication.
