Abstract:
Although percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is widely applied, there are also some serious complications, and the regional application in is uneven. In order to standardize the development and promotion of PCNL, the International Alliance of Urolithiasis(IAU) has developed the first professional guideline on PCNL. IAU-PCNL guideline covers all aspects of the whole PCNL procedure, including preoperative preparation, operation process, observation and prevention of complications, etc. The present paper would like to interpret the key contents of the IAU-PCNL guideline.
