Abstract
We report a retrospective audit of percutanoeus nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the United Kingdom. Questionnaires were sent to centres performing PCNL throughout the UK and data was obtained on 681 procedures from 30 centres. A variety of practice is demonstrated. Complication rates were comparable to previously published data and stone free rates were lower. Our data would also appear to support the view that urologist access for PCNL is both safe and effective in the UK.
