OBJECTIVES
To present our experience with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the treatment of large stones within horseshoe kidneys.
METHODS
The study included 34 patients with 45 stone-bearing horseshoe kidneys treated by PCNL in one center. The indications for PCNL were large stone burden (greater than 2 cm) in 10 kidneys (22.2%), multiple complex stones in 22 (48.9%), staghorn stones in 3 (6.7%), and failed extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in 10 kidneys (22.2%). All PCNL… CONTINUE READING
