Abstract:
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has been shown as a safe and effective method for treating nephrolithiasis in horseshoe kidney patients. We report the first X-ray Free PCNL with Alken Telescopic Metal Dilator (ATMD) in horseshoe kidney. A 58-Year-Old female was diagnosed with left large staghorn stone and horseshoe kidney treated with X-ray Free PCNL with ATMD. X-ray Free PCNL with ATMD is safe and effective nephrolithiasis lithotripsy for staghorn stone in Horseshoe Kidney. This technique is the first of its kind and possibly has become an excellent alternative for urological centers without access to fluoroscopy.
