Abstract available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28560507 Editorial Comment: The ability to render a patient stone-free and the risks of complications are 2 important outcomes for stone removing procedures. Various models have been developed to predict the chance of rendering a patient stone-free. The authors assessed the ability of 3 such instruments developed for percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease or higher. Stone formation is associated with chronic kidney disease, and many patients subjected to percutaneous nephrolithotomy have this comorbidity. The authors found that only the Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society scoring system nephrolithometry model was predictive of a stone-free result in this cohort. The components of this scoring system include prior stone surgery, surgeon case volume, presence of staghorn stone, stone burden, stone number and stone location. Unfortunately none of these factors foretold complications. Dean G. Assimos, MD
