    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PN) is an increasingly popular minimally invasive procedure for upper urinary tract stones.
    • PN offers advantages over traditional open surgery for stone removal.
    • Potential complications, such as bleeding, can occur during or after PN.

    Observation:

    • This article details the case of a pilot who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
    • The pilot experienced an unfortunate complication following the procedure.
    • This complication led to a significant impact on the pilot's occupational status.

    Findings:

    • The pilot was disqualified from flying status for a period of 6 months.
    • The complication necessitated a prolonged recovery or monitoring period.
