The Effect of Surgical Position on Hemodynamics in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Performed in Prone and Supine Positions

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This prospective, randomized controlled study evaluates the hemodynamic effects of prone and supine positions during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) for large kidney stones. Surgical position may influence intraoperative and postoperative hemodynamic stability. Prone positioning can increase intrathoracic pressure and reduce venous return, whereas supine positioning may provide greater hemodynamic stability. A total of 84 patients will be randomized to undergo PNL in prone or supine positions. Primary outcomes include changes in hemodynamic parameters during surgery. Results may guide surgical position selection, especially in patients with potential hemodynamic risk.

Treatments
Experimental: Prone Position
Patients in this group will undergo percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) in the prone position. The procedure begins with ureteral catheter placement in lithotomy position, followed by prone positioning for renal access under C-arm fluoroscopic guidance. Stone fragmentation will be performed using pneumatic or ultrasonic lithotripters, and nephrostomy placement will be completed according to standard protocol.
Experimental: Supine Position
Patients in this group will undergo percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) in the Galdakao-modified Valdivia supine position. Following general anesthesia, the ipsilateral side will be elevated 20-30°, with the ipsilateral leg extended and the contralateral leg abducted. Ureteral catheter placement will be followed by renal access under C-arm fluoroscopy. Stone fragmentation and removal will be performed using the same standardized lithotripsy and irrigation protocols as in the prone group.
