Forty patients suffering from kidney stone disease underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy between March 1983 and April 1984. Stones in 36 patients were removed successfully; the 4 failures were managed by open surgical removal. The major complication of this series was haemorrhage. 6 out of 36 patients (16.67 percent) needed blood transfusions. There was no mortality.
