Impact of fluoroscopy technique on radiation time and surgical outcomes in supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a propensity score-matched analysis of intermittent versus live fluoroscopy
Intermittent fluoroscopy during supine PCNL substantially reduces fluoroscopy time without compromising stone-free rates, operative outcomes, or complication rates. This approach may be considered a safer alternative for minimizing radiation exposure to patients and healthcare providers.
