Endoscopic Guided Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Journal of Endourology, 2021Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the treatment of choice for kidney stones >2 cm in size. Obtaining a nephrostomy tract to access the kidney is a key step in this procedure that ultimately determines the patient's outcome. We describe each step of the endoscopic guided approach to PCNL as performed at the University of California, Irvine.
