Subjects and Methods: A total of 112 patients underwent PCNL between February 2016 till date through tract sizes ranging from 22 Fr to 26 Fr. Results: Seven patients out of a total of 24 patients with superior calyceal puncture developed post-PCNL hematuria. Only one patient could be managed conservatively while rest 6 required angiography and angioembolization to control hematuria. Conclusions: Early diagnosis and treatment of post-PCNL hematuria is warranted for a successful postoperative outcome with minimal morbidity.
