Are very thin patients at a higher risk of complications when submitted to percutaneous nephrolithotomy?
In this study, very thin patients were not at a higher risk of complications when submitted to PCNL than in those with a BMI of ≥25 kg/m2. Apparently, this technique can be used in these patients, just as it is used in any other type of patient, independently of their BMI.
