Case Report : Successful Staged Ureteroscopic Treatment of a 5 cm Staghorn Renal Calculus

الملخص EN

It is widely accepted that percutaneous nephrostolithotorny (PCNL) is the standard of choice for the removal of large staghorn renal calculi.

Although data exists supporting a stagad ureteroscopic as an alternate treatment for stones up to 3 cm in select patients, little data exists to support a ureteroscopic approach for stones as large as 5 cm.

We present a case of a 68 year old female with a 5 cm staghorn renal calculus managed successfully with a staged ureteroscopic approach.

A staged ureteroscopic approach can be effective in treating stones as large as 5 cm.
