The prone position could be associated with several anesthetic and surgical drawbacks. The supine position PCNL was introduced in 1987 by Valdivia to overcome these disadvantages. In this setting, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy for medium sized renal stones (1-3 cm) in supine position versus prone position. METHODS: After the approval of local ethical committee, 80 patients with medium sized renal stones (1-3 cm) were randomized into 2 groups: Group A (40) patients underwent (supine mini-PCNL in Galdakao modified supine valdivia position), Group B (40) patients underwent (prone mini-PCNL). We used the minimally invasive PCNL (MIP set, KARL STORZ system,) with Holmium laser lithotripsy. Demographic data, Operative and postoperative data were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS: Both groups were comparable in terms of patients' demographic and stone criteria. The mean operative time was significantly shorter in group A (112.8±20.82) compared to Group B (136.1±26.51) p value . The final SFR was 89.5% and 83.8% in groups A and B respectively (p value=0.469). Both groups were comparable as regards the auxiliary procedures, hospitalization period, and postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: Both supine and prone mini-PCNL were shown to be effective and safe for medium sized renal stones with comparable SFR and overall complications. The shorter operative time was in favor of supine mini-PCNL. Further studies are needed to confirm our results.
