Supine PCNL for High Stone-Free Rates in Kidney Stones

✅ECIRS (endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery) – in the surgery of complex kidney stones it provides: 

🍀High stone-free rates 

🍀Low complication rates 

🍀Low blood loss. Applying this method requires suitable surgical equipment, experience and, above all, teamwork.‼️For kidney stones larger than 2 cm, the minimally invasive kidney stone surgery we perform in the supine (lying on the back) position is a highly effective and reliable method.

❗️Although laser technologies are advancing, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is recommended as the first-line treatment for kidney stones larger than 2 cm. ❗️In experienced hands, very good stone-free rates can be achieved in a short time, in a more physiological position, with a low complication rate. 

❗️Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is used for stones in the upper part of the ureter and stones smaller than 2 cm inside the kidney. 

❗️RIRS is performed with flexible, soft instruments that pass through the urinary tract up to the kidney. 

❗️These instruments can rotate 270 degrees in every direction inside the kidney and can easily reach the upper, middle and lower parts of the kidney.
