Does nephrolithometry scoring systems predict success and complications in miniPCNL?

To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first of its kind to investigate the ability of NSSs to predict treatment success and postsurgical complications in patients undergoing miniPCNL. The study found that STONE and CROES NSSs are independent parameters for predicting stone-free status after miniPCNL. In addition, our study found that none of the NSSs were useful in predicting postsurgical complications in patients undergoing miniPCNL.
