Effects of body mass index on the outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy

Abstract: Objective To examine the the effect of body mass index (BMI) on PNL results and complications with a large number of patients.Materials and Methods A total of 958 patients were included in the study, who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy in our clinic between 2008 and 2015. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their body mass index. Patients with a BMI < 30 kg/m2 were classified as group 1 (n:676) and patients with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 were classified as group 2 (n:282). Achieving stone-free statu… Show more

“…Patients with obesity may present various technical challenges, such as with anesthesia, patient positioning, proper radiological visualization of the stone, increased skin-to-collecting-system distance, the need for extra-long devices, and nephrostomy-tube dislodgement. Despite all these problems, similar stone-free and complication rates were reported with PNL among patients with and without obesity in single-center studies [6][7][8]10]. Consistent with these studies, no relationship was found between obesity and operative success rates in the present study, and our results indicate that PNL outcome is independent of BMI.…”

“…In a meta-analysis of 4.962 patients, however, Zhou et al [6] reported no significant difference in operative time between patients with and without obesity, although it was significantly longer in patients with super-obesity (>40 kg/ m 2 ). No statistically significant association was observed between obesity and operative time in studies with a similar design to that of the present study [7,8,11].…”

“…Thirdly, there are limitations of the length of the nephroscope and instruments. [22][23][24] However, there are some tricks for tackling these issues such as the choice of the shorter length of the access track to allow ease of instrument maneuverability during the procedure. Furthermore, extra-long custom-trimmed access sheaths may help in gaining proper access tract.…”

“…Today, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is the gold standard minimally invasive treatment method in the treatment of renal stones larger than 2 cm. 1 The success rates of PNL procedure have increased with technological advances and increased surgical experience. Abnormal enlargement of the kidney pelvis and calyces is defined as hydronephrosis.…”
