Randomly, the patients were divided into two equal groups; group 1 (the novel group) was administered the novel technique. Using single-step Amplatz dilatation followed by the use of a modified laparoscope trocar 36 Fr as an access sheath with a side screw for suction and group 2 (control group) underwent standard PCNL. The preoperative evaluation of all patients included a comprehensive clinical evaluation, a normal X-ray of the kidney\u2013ureter\u2013bladder, and a computed tomography scan of the abdomen without contrast, and laboratory investigations.
