    Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the primary treatment for kidney stones larger than 20 mm, allowing for effective stone removal with minimal damage.

  • 2

    This study is the first to evaluate satisfaction among surgical teams and operating room personnel regarding anesthesia methods in PCNL.

  • 3

    Combined spinal–epidural anesthesia (CSEA) may reduce complications and improve patient safety compared to general anesthesia during PCNL.

  • 4

    Satisfaction scores were collected from surgeons, anesthesiologists, and operating room personnel using a numerical scale immediately after surgery.

  • 5

    The study included 44 patients and assessed various outcomes, including postoperative pain, mobilization times, and anesthesia requirements.
