Feasibility of Radiation-Free Percutaneus Nephrolithotomy for Kidney Stones

Sponsor: University of California, San Diego

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the feasibility of ultrasound-guided percutaneus nephrolithotomy in patients with kidney stones. The main question's it aims to answer are: Does the use of ultrasound in percutaneus nephrolithotomy affect stone free rates, defined by no stone or stone \<2mm, on follow up visit? Does the use of ultrasound in percutaneus nephrolithotomy affect complication rates, categorized by Clavien system? Researchers will compare ultrasound-guided percutaneus nephrolithotomy to traditional nephrolithotomy using fluoroscopy to see if outcomes differ. Participants will be chosen for any of the above interventions at surgeon's discretion.
