A member asked:
How many pnl surgeries are performed each year in the us and how many pnl's have complications each year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many factors: Rather than stating how many procedures of pnl (percutaneous nephrolithotomy) are performed for kidney stones, better to discuss with your urologist and hospital their success rate and complications.
