Protocol summary

Summary
The objective of the present study is to determine the impact of splitting amplatz sheath on the operative time.Design: First for the pilot study, 10 patients were chosen and with their full consent, they underwent Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy with and without splitting Amplatz sheath. After assessing and making sure of the primary results, a not blinded randomized clinical trial was designed. Method: Patients are randomly divided into two groups of 36. The first group undergoes Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy with longitudinal split in Amplatz sheath, while for the second group, Amplatz sheath is kept intact. Operative time, fluoroscopic time, hemoglobin decline and residual stone will be compared between the two groups. Inclusion criteria: Patients who are candidate for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy with kidney stones larger than 2cm in diameter or stones resistant to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Exclusion criteria: Patients with multiple stones, cardiac problems, liver or renal failure and supine position. Intervention:The first group undergoes Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy with longitudinal split in Amplatz sheath , while for the other group Amplatz sheath is kept intact. Main outcome measures (variables): Operative time, fluoroscopic time, and residual stone.
