Ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy without fluoroscopy: early surgical experience with video-based technical insights
Ultrasound-guided PCNL is a safe, effective, and radiation-free alternative to fluoroscopy-guided procedures. It can be reliably adopted early in surgical practice. The accompanying video supports broader understanding and dissemination of this radiation-free approach, especially in resource-limited or high-volume centers.
