AB01. Percutaneous renal access for nephrolithotomy
نویسنده
چکیده
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy has revolutionized the ability of the urologist to remove large burdens of renal stones over the last 15 years. In the United States, it has largely replaced open stone surgery for the treatment of large sized stones. One of the key factors in optimizing outcomes for this procedure is accurate percutaneous renal access. The guiding principles for effective renal access will be reviewed in this session.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common urological procedure for the treatment of renal pelvis and upper ureteric stones. It is associated with a number of different complications which can be broadly divided into access and nephrolithotomy related complications. Whilst reported, splenic injury is an unusual and rare complication. We describe the management of a trans-splenic access ass...
