title: [Percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Report of 211 cases].
abstract: The case files of 198 patients with a stone, treated by percutaneous nephrolithotomy between 1985 and 1999, were studied. This series consisted of 113 men and 85 women with a mean age of 41 years (17-71 years). The stone was in the pelvis (167 cases) of the kidney, multiple in 40 cases and staghorn in four cases. The complications were septic in six cases and hemorrhagic in five cases. The overall stone-free rate at three months was 92%.
