Patients who underwent PCNL during the same period and had no history of percutaneous renal puncture surgery were enrolled in Group 2 (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009160). All the procedures were performed under US guidance. Standard access (22\u201324 Fr) was achieved in all patients in the prone position. Relevant patient characteristics, operative variables, and postoperative data were collected and analyzed, focusing on the stone-free rate (SFR) and complications.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The procedure was successful in all patients. The patients\u2019 basic characteristics (gender, age, BMI, and stone size) were similar between the two groups. Puncture time and access creation time were significantly longer in Group 1 than in Group 2 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.02,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.01). Similarly, Group 1 demonstrated a significantly higher number of access tracts compared to Group 2 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.02). The final SFR in Group 1 showed no significant difference compared to Group 2 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.09). Operative duration in Group 1 was longer than in Group 2 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.1).
