    Percutaneous nephrostomy allows for kidney stone removal with an 87% success rate. This minimally invasive technique offers fast recovery and fewer complications for urinary calculi extraction.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Percutaneous nephrostomy is a common urological procedure.
    • Modifications now enable percutaneous extraction of urinary calculi.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the experience with percutaneous extraction of urinary calculi.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Percutaneous extraction of 63 urinary calculi.
    • Utilized techniques: grasping, fragmentation, flushing, and direct vision removal.
    • Employed large dilators for kidney access.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved an overall success rate of 87%.
    • Reported a low complication incidence of approximately 3%.
