Abstract
Numerous options for operating tables exist for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), but none of the tables suited our specific needs. Therefore a new custom PCNL table was developed. An existing carbon fiber table design was extensively modified to make it suitable for both PCNL and endoscopic urologic procedures. The goals of the design were to create a large imaging window and eliminate any metallic side rail interference during PCNL procedures with the patient in a split-leg prone position. A secondary objective was that the table be suitable for endourologic procedures in the lithotomy position. A custom carbon fiber operating table was successfully developed and implemented in the clinical care of our patients. The modified custom carbon fiber operating table was successfully developed and now used as the primary table for our endourologic procedures. Future refinements to further optimize the table design are underway.
