“…Obese patients should be provided with accurate and indi- vidualized information regarding the risks and likely outcomes of PCNL. This article adds to our previous report 11 considering outcomes of PCNL stratified by BMI. In particular, the matched comparison of morbidly obese patients with those of healthy weight provides useful insight, particularly regarding the significantly increased risk of postoperative complications, in the morbidly obese group.…”
