Predicting calyceal access for percutaneous nephrolithotomy with computed tomography multiplanar reconstruction

OBJECTIVES: Objective parameters in computed tomography (CT) scans that could predict calyceal access during percutaneous nephrolithotomy have not been evaluated. These parameters could improve access planning for percutaneous nephrolithotomy. We aimed to determine which parameters extracted from a...
