This study details a minimally invasive technique for percutaneous renal calculus removal. The method successfully extracted recurrent kidney stones through a pre-existing nephrostomy tract using specialized instruments and imaging guidance.

Area of Science:

Urology
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Nephrology

Background:

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a standard procedure for kidney stone removal.
Management of renal calculi in polytraumatized patients presents unique challenges.
Previous interventions like pyelotomy and nephrostomy can influence subsequent stone removal strategies.

Observation:

A polytraumatized patient developed recurrent renal calculi after initial surgery.
A nephrostomy tract was already in place on the right side.
The patient was immobilized, contributing to stone recurrence.

Findings:

Percutaneous removal of two recidive renal calculi was achieved.
The procedure utilized the existing nephrostomy opening.

Lithotomy forceps and an image intensifier were employed for stone extraction.

Implications:

This case demonstrates the feasibility of percutaneous stone removal via a pre-existing nephrostomy tract.
The technique offers a minimally invasive option for recurrent stones in complex patients.
Successful extraction highlights the adaptability of percutaneous methods in challenging clinical scenarios.
