Compared to fluoroscopy-guided PCNL (F-PCNL), ultrasound-guided PCNL (US-PCNL) is easier to learn and reduces radiation exposure to patients and providers. Despite these advantages, uptake of ultrasound-guided PCNL (US-PCNL) in Canada has been almost nonexistent, largely because it is not incorporated into urologists’ training. In this article, we seek to familiarize Canadian urologists with this approach by describing our step-by-step technique for US-PCNL. Additionally, we provide keys to successful implementation of this technique.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Canadian Urological Association Journal}, author={Beiko, Darren and Razvi, Hassan and Bhojani, Naeem and Bjazevic, Jennifer and Bayne, David B. and Tzou, David T. and Stoller, Marshall L. and Chi, Thomas}, year={2019}, month={Sep.}, pages={E104–10} }
