Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) offers an effective alternative for complicated caliceal diverticula, even with renal damage. This case study highlights successful treatment of an inferior caliceal diverticulum using PCN with electrical fulguration and fibrin glue.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Caliceal diverticula, particularly complex or large ones with renal parenchymal damage, traditionally require open surgery.
  • Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) is the primary treatment for smaller, less complicated cases.

Observation:

  • A case of an inferior caliceal diverticulum with associated renal parenchymal damage was presented.
  • The patient's condition necessitated an alternative to traditional open surgery.

Findings:

  • A directed percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) management approach was successfully employed.
  • Treatment involved electrical fulguration followed by the injection of human fibrin glue into the diverticulum.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates the efficacy of a minimally invasive percutaneous approach for complicated caliceal diverticula with parenchymal damage.
