    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Kidney stones in the major renal collecting system can pose treatment challenges.
    • Percutaneous access is a common approach for managing renal calculi.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a technique for extracting small, mobile stones from the renal collecting system.
    • To highlight the advantages of this percutaneous approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Conventional percutaneous needle nephrostomy is performed.
    • A pigtail catheter is placed into the renal pelvis.
    • The nephrostomy tract is serially dilated over one week.
    • A cystoscope is used to access the kidney.
    • Stones are trapped with a basket and removed.
