Predictive factors of stone-free rate and complications in patients undergoing minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy under local infiltration anesthesia

ConclusionsMPCNL can be safely and effectively performed under LIA. Stone size and staghorn stone are factors associated with SFR while ASA score, multiple tracts, and staghorn stone are associated with the development of complications. For the first time, we developed a model to predict the SFR and complications in MPCNL under LIA.
