Abstract
Introduction
While endotracheal tube (ETT) is the traditional airway modality for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), the adoption of supine positioning has opened the door for alternative strategies. Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) offers potential advantages, but its safety profile in supine PCNL remains understudied. This study aimed to compare urologic and anesthesia-related outcomes between LMA and ETT in patients undergoing ultrasound-guided supine PCNL.
