Initial prospective study of ambulatory mPCNL on upper urinary tract calculi.

CONCLUSIONS: For patients with simple upper urinary tract calculi and relatively good performance status, ambulatory mPCNL is feasible as it's equally safe and efficient as compared with routine inpatient mPCNL. Moreover, ambulatory mPCNL decreases hospitalization costs and hospital stay time. Nevertheless, perioperative management should be carefully conducted, and well-designed studies are warranted.
