Abstract：Objective:To compare the clinical effectiveness of recumbent position vs .prone position in percutane-ous nephrolithotripsy.Methods:722 cases of upper urinary tract lithiasis receiving percutaneous nephrolithotripsy were divided into prone position group (n =326)and recumbent position group (n =396).The operation time,oper-ation blood loss,number of channels,operative complications,number of significant renal bleeding cases,hospital stay,number of delayed phase lithotripsy cases,and stone clearance rate were compared between two groups.Re-sults:There was no significant difference in the age,gender and complications between the two groups before sur-gery (P >0.05).The operation time was shorter,the operation blood loss was less,and the stone clearance rate was higher in recumbent position group than in prone position group (P <0.05 for all).Conclusions:The recumbent po-sition is better than prone position in operation time,operation blood loss,hospital stay and stone clearance rate.
