“…[18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The higher incidence of blood transfusion found in our study may be associated with longer duration of procedure in our study, difference in the level of expertise of surgeons, longer duration of renal calculi which have led to fibrosis and difficult PCNL and finally, the level of haemodilution. In our study, we have used the difference in the irrigation and effluent fluid to assess the amount of fluid absorbed and degree of haemodilution.…”

“…General anesthesia on the other hand, may increase complications in PCNL when the patient changes position 40 . Additionaly, performing PCNL on staghorn calculi under general anesthesia can induce diluted anemia, hypothermia, higher blood loss, as well as the possibility of fluid absorption and electrolyte imbalance 38 . In short, lower dose of analgesia demand, duration of surgery, well-maintained hemodynamic stability during and after operation with faster patient recovery shows the promising aspect of spinal anesthesia to be virtually used in most PCNL procedures 41 .…”
