Abstract:

Percutan Nefrolitotomy PNL is a minimal invasive method in the treatment of kidney stones and has nowadays replaced open stone surgery. But it should not be forgotten that in PNL surgery, like every surgical procedure, various complications can develop, and they can even reach dimensions that threaten life. PNL surgery can be done in patients who are suitable without a pipe, but it is terminated by placing nefrostomy in the routine. We also discussed in this article the breakdown of the nefrostomic catathera that we placed after the PNL surgery, which was not previously in literature, and our endoscopic approach to this situation.

Abstract:

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy PCNL is a minimally invasive method for the treatment of kidney stones and has replaced open stone surgery. However, it should be kept in mind that various complications may develop in PCNL operation like every surgical procedure and even these can be life-threatening. Although PCNL can be performed tubeless in appropriate patients, nephrostomy is routinely terminated. In this article, we discussed the brekeage of the nephrostomy catheter that we have placed after PCNL operation and our endoscopic approach to this condition which was not previously reported in the literature.
