Access Techniques for Percutaneous Renal Surgery

  • Chapter
Interventional Management of Urological Diseases

Summary

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) remains an important part of the urologist’s armamentarium. Although PNL can be used to treat upper tract calculi of any size, it is particularly effective for treating patients with complex stone disease or coexisting renal pathology such as ureteropelvic junction obstruction or stone-containing calyceal diverticula (CD). Since its introduction in the late 1970s, PNL has undergone a considerable evolution in technique. However, the performance of PNL is entirely dependent on achieving satisfactory access.This chapter reviews the current access techniques for percutaneous renal surgery.
