Background: Renal stones are one of the common problems affecting large number of population all over the world. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a promising technique for reducing hospital stay in patients with renal stone surgery. Aims and Objective: To study the stone size and success rate of PCNL in patients with renal calculi. Materials and Methods: Ninety renal calculi patients were studied at SVBP Hospital attached to LLRM Medical College Meerut from June 2016 to Sept 2017. After a thorough history taking, detail of demographic and clinical findings including age, sex, stone size, hospital stay and success rate were recorded for each patient. All the statistical analysis was done using IBM SPSS ver.20 software. Results: Maximum patients belong to age group of 21-60 years with mean age of 36.24±13.81 years. Male preponderance was reported (70%). Majority of the patients had right sided stone (60%), single (72%) and upper calyx was the most common PCN puncture site (54.44%). Maximum (91%) underwent drainage by DJ stent, had duration of hospital stay of 4-6 days (62.2%). Most of the patients had operative time within 60 mins (54.4%). Maximum patients (90%) achieved total clearance. Conclusion: PCNL should be the first-line treatment modality for the management of the renal calculi. In addition to advantage of minimally invasive therapy, it also offers shorter hospital stay and higher stonefree rates.
