Comparison of subcostal and supracostal access in percutaneous nephrolithotomy of isolated upper pole stone: A prospective randomized clinical trial
Unlike the traditional view, supracostal access during PCNL is safe and effective and is not associated with a higher incidence of postoperative complications. However, both procedures were performed by skilled surgeons, so surgeons should have sufficient training and choose the proper method for each patient individually to minimize complications and obtain the best results. Further studies with a large number of cases are recommended.
