Anatrophic nephrolithotomy offers a safe and effective surgical option for managing staghorn calculi, achieving a 100% stone-free rate without compromising renal function.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Nephrolithiasis Management

Background:

  • While lithotripsy dominates renal stone treatment, surgery remains relevant for complex cases.
  • This study evaluates anatrophic nephrolithotomy for staghorn calculi.

Observation:

  • Six patients with complete staghorn calculi underwent anatrophic nephrolithotomy.
  • The procedure involved a lumbar incision, controlled pedicular access, and convexity nephrotomy for stone extraction.
  • Nephrorrhaphy ensured hemostasis and parenchymal repair, with ureteral stenting.

Findings:

  • A 100% stone-free rate was achieved post-operatively.
  • No alterations in renal function were observed.
  • The mean operative time was 70 minutes, with a simple post-operative follow-up.

Implications:

  • Anatrophic nephrolithotomy is a safe technique for staghorn calculi.
  • It presents no significant risk of hemorrhage or renal function impairment.
  • This surgical approach offers a viable alternative for complex renal stone disease.
