Summary

Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PNL) is a safe procedure for removing renal pelvic stones in horseshoe kidneys. Key considerations include pre-operative imaging, ureteral catheterization, optimal nephroscope insertion, and careful stone fragmentation techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Horseshoe kidneys present unique anatomical challenges for stone removal.
  • Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PNL) is a standard treatment for renal stones.

Observation:

  • Two cases of renal pelvic stones within horseshoe kidneys are presented.
  • Patients underwent successful percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PNL).

Findings:

  • PNL can be safely performed for renal pelvic stones in horseshoe kidneys.
  • Four critical steps were identified for successful PNL in this anatomy: pre-operative imaging, ureteral occlusion, appropriate calyx selection, and peripheral fragmentation.

Implications:

  • This study adds to the limited documented cases of PNL for stones in horseshoe kidneys.
