Antegrade endopyelotomy is a preferred treatment for ureteropelvic junction obstruction with kidney stones. A novel mini-percutaneous technique enables simultaneous stone removal and this procedure using a nephrostomy sheath.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Endourology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction often coexists with renal calculi.
  • Antegrade endopyelotomy is the standard endourologic approach for UPJ obstruction.
  • Simultaneous management of UPJ obstruction and renal stones can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A mini-percutaneous technique was utilized for combined UPJ obstruction and renal calculus treatment.
  • The procedure involved antegrade endopyelotomy and stone extraction.
  • A 20F nephrostomy sheath was employed for access.

Findings:

  • The mini-percutaneous approach successfully facilitated antegrade endopyelotomy.
  • Concurrent renal stone extraction was achieved through the same sheath.

  • This technique offers a minimally invasive option for complex UPJ obstruction cases.

    • Implications:

    • This approach may simplify the management of UPJ obstruction with concomitant stones.
    • It presents a potentially less invasive alternative to traditional open or staged procedures.
    • Further research could validate the long-term efficacy and safety of this technique.
