PCNL is a gold standard procedure for upper renal tract stones. The outcome of procedure is based on various factors like patient general condition, stone burden, location, number of punctures, post op complications, residual stones etc. we have analysed 40 cases of PCNL performed from 2013-2015 and have graded the outcomes and complications. In our study there were 28 male and 12 female patients. 75% are of age 20-45 years. 90% had renal calculus of average size 2.25 cm. PCNL alone was done in 40 patients. Outcome and complications analysis showed that 10 patient had post op fever and 8 patient had post operative paralytic illeus, 5 patient underwent second sitting PCNL for complete stone clearance.
