Coagulum pyelolithotomy using autogenous plasma a and bovine thrombin

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Nephrology
• Surgical Innovation

Background:

• Kidney stones (calculi) in the renal pelvis or infundibula can be challenging to remove.
• Current stone removal techniques may have limitations in certain anatomical locations.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe a new method for facilitating the removal of renal calculi.
• To utilize autologous plasma to create an intrapelvic clot for stone extraction.

Main Methods:

• A technique involving the use of the patient's own plasma is described.
• The plasma is used to form an intrapelvic clot.
• This clot aids in the extraction of loose calculi.

Main Results:

• The described technique successfully aids in the removal of calculi.
• Formation of an intrapelvic clot using autologous plasma is feasible.
• The method is effective for stones in the renal pelvis and infundibula.

Conclusions:

• Autologous plasma clot formation is a viable adjunct for renal stone removal.
• This technique offers a potential solution for difficult-to-remove calculi.
• Further investigation into the clinical application of this method is warranted.
