Abstract:Introduction: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is considered to be the gold standard management for renal calculi. The purpose of this study is to comprehend the overall alterations in renal volume occurring after PCNL. The changes in the kidney’s total volume in individual patients will be examined by ultrasonography pre and postoperatively, and it will be correlated with GFR. Materials and methods: It was a prospective observational study performed over 70 participants, conducted at the department of Urol… Show more
