Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is now a popular method for removal of renal and ureteral stones. Placement of a nephrostomy tube after the completion of PCNL has been considered a standard procedure by most urologists, but some authors have recently challenged this practice. Bleeding is one of the most prevalent problems after nephrostomy tube-free percutaneous renal surgery. To diminish the possibility of postoperative bleeding, we cauterized the PCNL tract to make it bloodless. The efficacy and safety of this procedure were reviewed in this study.
