Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that is being applied for 30 years, and is also continuing its evolution meanwhile. From the first years of establishment to date, indications and surgical technique of this operation is developed as well as surgical results. Application in our country for this operation began at 1990's. Knowing how surgical results are affected by passing time and increasing experience is important for both getting information on how budding young surgeons should be trained on this issue and for developing anticipation on the future of percutaneous nephrolithotomy. In this review, in the light of national and international publications, we tried to summarize the evolution process, investigate the affects of increasing clinical and academical experience on results and give an idea on the surgical training methods of percutaneous nephrolithotomy.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPercutaneous nephrolithotomyExperienceSurgical trainingHistoryArticle334438444WOS:000420480200010N/A
