PCNL Associated Splenic Injury with a Novel Management Approach

چکیده
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 associated injury and in particular, the role of a combined urological and radiological approach to managing this unusual complication.
