Medical Treatment of a Staghorn Calculus: The Ultimate Noninvasive Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 77-year-old female presented with bilateral staghorn calculi. She underwent an uneventful left percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL); the stone analysis revealed a 90% struvite and 10% calcium phosphate stone. Treatment of the right stone was postponed by the patient. During the next 9 months, her family physician gave her multiple courses of culture-directed antibiotics due to breakthrough urinary-tract infections, despite her also being on a prophylactic antibiotic. After 9 months, she agreed to undergo her right PCNL. Preoperatively, a non-contrast CT scan was obtained; it revealed complete resolution of the right staghorn calculi.

متن کاملUreteroscopy assisted retrograde nephrostomy for complete staghorn renal calculi.
Complete staghorn calculi are typically managed with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). However, dilating nephrostomy and inserting a nephro access sheath can be difficult to perform without hydronephrosis. We reported the procedure of ureteroscopy-assisted retrograde nephrostomy (UARN) during PCNL. UARN is effective without dilating the renal collecting system in cases of complete staghorn c...
