One of these modifications was the transition to the supine position, which, among many other advantages, allowed to perform endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery ergonomically. As with all new surgical techniques, supine PNL had been questionable for the surgeons at the beginning for the reason of acting out of ongoing surgical habits. However, due to that the endourologists who had shifted to this technique have proven its superiorities scientifically, supine PNL has become much more popular during recent times. In this article, we aimed to discuss the advantages of supine PNL compared to prone position, to present the solutions for the possible problems related to position, and to clarify some certain misunderstandings about the supine position. }, number={1}, publisher={Endourology Association}
