Does instrumentation and irrigation configuration affect intrarenal pressure during PCNL?
In situations where the IRP should be low, removal of the RNS, irrigating through the inflow port, and frequent use of suction maintain the lowest pressures. If temporary increases in IRP are necessary to improve visualisation in the setting of bleeding, irrigating through the outflow port, minimising drainage and use of the RNS can be used to raise IRP.
