Abstract
The article discusses the importance of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedure in managing patients with large-volume renal calculi. The author noted various safe and effective modifications of patient positioning for PCNL including the prone split-leg position. In addition, the Galdakao-modified Valvidia position is considered helpful in enhancing the hypermobility of the kidney.
