“…Although PNL is considered as a safe procedure especially inexperienced hands, complications may still occur. Complication rates are similar between supine and prone-positioned PNL procedures (Baard et al, 2014). Furthermore, most of the perioperative complications in the prone PNL are anesthesia-related and pulmonary problems arising from position change can lead to these complications (Kyriazis et al, 2015).…”

“…Other advantages of the supine position are less vascular, peripheral nerve and cervical spine injuries, tracheal compression, and less ocular damage. On the other hand, since fluid absorption is less in the supine position, it is especially important in pediatric patients, patients with impaired cardiovascular status, and patients at risk of systemic infection due to struvite or non-struvite stones colonized by bacteria [ 8 , 9 ].…”

“…Studies of the relative safety of supine versus prone positioning have not demonstrated any difference in the risk of bowel perforation or other major complications. 25,26 Recent reports describing bowel perforation during PCNL have emphasized the opportunity for non-operative management for the injury, with placement of the percutaneous nephrostomy tube into the bowel lumen to act as a drain. [5][6][7]9,27 This opportunity is predicated on the presence of an indwelling nephrostomy tube to leave as an enteric drain.…”
