The medical records of the first 210 patients treated with percutaneous nephrolithotripsy at Duke University Medical Center were reviewed. Eleven patients were treated for bilateral stones for a total of 221 renal units. The procedure failed in 6 patients (2.7%). Stone fragments were retained in 55 patients (24.9%), with unplanned fragments in 41 cases (18.6%). Open surgery was subsequently performed in 4 patients (1.8%). There were no nephrectomies or deaths in our patients. Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy is a highly successful method for removal of upper tract stones and has a complication rate no higher than that of open surgical procedures.
