Abstract

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), has almost replaced open surgery as the main treatment for large or multiple kidney stones. In general, when performing surgery in an anatomical region that has previously been operated on, the surgeon can expect a technical challenge that may be associated with higher complication rate and, possibly, a lower success rate. . Basiri A et al 2003.Various studies have sought to compare the outcomes of PCNL in patients with or without a history of open renal surgery. Margel D et al 2005

Their results have not been entirely consistent or have even been contradictory,with some reporting lower success rates and/or higher complication risks associated with POS. Gupta NP et ah 2009. Yesil Set al 2013 ,while others have found no significant differences between the POS and non-previous open renal surgery(nPOS) groups. . Sofikerim M et al 2007

Despite numerous studies being carried out since the 1980s, this problem has remained a contentious issue that is still debated today
