Actual Management of Anterior Calyceal Diverticular Calculi: A Challenging Flexible Retrograde Endoscopic Approach

Abstract EN

Calyceal diverticula is a cavity that communicates with the collecting system through a narrow isthmus of the kidney.

The incidence of the formation of stones in calyceal diverticula is 10-50%.

This paper reports three cases of two females and one male who presented with calyceal diverticular calculi; the patients have been, arbitrarily, selected between August and February 2019 at the urology department of our university hospital.

A minimally invasive treatment includes extracorporeal lithotripsy (ESWL), and F-URS (flexible ureteroscopy) was performed.

We report this case series.
