Abstract
- Percutaneous removal of renal and upper ureteral stone is becoming an established procedure, especially for stones lying free in the pelvis. The kidneys, which are frequently malformed. often lay within the kyphosis and it is hard to do open surgery. We report 4 cases of renal or upper ureteral stones managed with percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PNL) in kyphosis patients.
