    Peritoneal extravasation of irrigation fluid during percutaneous nephrostolithotomy is a serious complication. Prompt drainage and electrolyte monitoring are crucial for managing this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (PCNL) is a common procedure for kidney stone removal.
    • Extravasation of irrigation fluid is a known, albeit infrequent, complication of PCNL.
    • Intraperitoneal extravasation can lead to significant patient morbidity.

    Observation:

    • This report details three cases of peritoneal extravasation of irrigation fluid during PCNL.
    • Patients presented with ventilatory difficulty and narrowed pulse pressure.
    • These clinical signs suggest the occurrence of intraperitoneal fluid extravasation.

    Findings:

    • The identified cases highlight the potential for severe complications from PCNL.
    • Ventilatory difficulty and narrowed pulse pressure are key indicators of intraperitoneal extravasation.

  • Successful management involved rapid drainage of the extravasated fluid.

    • Implications:

    • Early recognition of ventilatory difficulty and narrowed pulse pressure is vital for timely diagnosis.
    • Prompt surgical intervention, including fluid drainage, is essential for patient recovery.
    • Close monitoring of electrolyte concentrations post-procedure is critical to prevent further complications.
