Comparison of Hemodynamic Stability and Pain Control in Lateral and Prone Positions in Patients undergoing Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy; a Randomized Controlled Trial Study.

CONCLUSION: Our randomized control trial study shows that choosing the optimal position in the PCNL technique depends on the patient's conditions. If hemodynamic control matters to the anesthesiologist, the lateral position is appropriate. However, if control of pain and longer time of analgesia are important, the prone position may be preferred.
