Let me help you: There are complications with any surgery.
And those the most common complications  for your surgery.
Injury to the colon
injury to the renal blood vessels
urinary leak may persist for a few days
sepsis
hydrothorax if pcnl is done through 11th intercostal space.
I do believe you may have the last one on the list.Please take of it.
