Insights and outcomes of day-case percutaneous nephrolithotomy: results of a systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis
Day-case PCNL represents a safe and viable approach that has seen a growing adoption over recent years, driven in part by post-pandemic healthcare trends. Our review underscores its efficacy, marked by favourable outcomes and a low incidence of complications and readmissions. Moreover, detailed planning is paramount in order to establish clear criteria for potential surgical candidates and indications for inpatient admission, as well as a thorough follow-up plan.
