Abstract
Two patients had colonic perforation as a result of percutaneous nephrostomy placement followed by track dilatation and renal calculus removal. The technical aspects of nephrostomy placement and stone removal, as well as the clinical diagnosis and management of these cases are presented. Both patients recovered well with conservative therapy and required no surgical intervention. This report reviews the anatomic considerations for percutaneous nephrostomy in patients undergoing renal stone removal.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
