Real-Time Tract Length During Supine Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Is Shorter than on Preoperative Imaging: Implications for Surgical Planning
CT-based tract lengths often overestimate actual intraoperative values in supine PCNL, suggesting that true tract lengths in the supine position are shorter than previously believed. Preoperative accuracy can be enhanced using our newly developed predictive formula.
