PCNL in Neurogenic Bladder – a challenging population for both clinincal management and analysis
British Journal of Urology Compass. 2023, In Press

This retrospective review examines the peri-operative morbidity in patients with neurogenic bladder who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) at our institution over the past decade.
