This study presents a novel ureteroscopically assisted technique for percutaneous renal access, simplifying kidney stone removal in challenging cases. This method enhances success rates for percutaneous nephrostolithotomy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (PCN) is a standard procedure for kidney stone removal.
  • Achieving percutaneous access can be challenging in certain patient anatomies.

Observation:

  • A novel technique utilizing ureteroscopy to facilitate percutaneous renal access is described.
  • This approach is designed for patients with difficult anatomy for standard PCN.

Findings:

  • Ureteroscopic assistance provides a reliable method for obtaining percutaneous access.
  • The technique aims to improve the feasibility and success of PCN in complex cases.

Implications:

  • This technique offers a valuable alternative for urologists performing PCN.
