In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective, randomized controlled study evaluates the hemodynamic effects of prone and supine positions during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) for large kidney stones. Surgical position may influence intraoperative and postoperative hemodynamic stability. Prone positioning can increase intrathoracic pressure and reduce venous return, whereas supine positioning may provide greater hemodynamic stability. A total of 84 patients will be randomized to undergo PNL in prone or supine positions. Primary outcomes include changes in hemodynamic parameters during surgery. Results may guide surgical position selection, especially in patients with potential hemodynamic risk.
