April 21, 2016 updated by: Hamidreza Shemshaki, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences
The purpose of this study is to determine which type of percutaneous nephrolithotomy is better in large kidney stones

Study Overview

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.
