Abstract

Since its introduction in the 1970s, percutaneous nephrolithotomy has undergone numerous refinements in both instrumentation and technique to become an efficacious and safe procedure for the removal of renal calculi. The aim of this review is to discuss issues raised in publications in the year 2000 regarding percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the management of urinary stone disease.
