Abstract

|
|
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is minimally invasive technique for renal stone removal. It is a safe and efficient procedure for large, multiple, and complex stone, especially staghorn calculi or smaller symptomatic stones. Although percutaneous nephrolithotomy is associated with low morbidity and short hospital stay, severe complications such as extravasation of fluid and urine, the need for blood transfusion, and septicemia may occur after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Herein, we report a fatal case following percutaneous nephrolithotomy, in which the angioembolization was performed after cardiopulmonary resuscitation due to unexpected rupture of a renal artery which was detected after transferring to the general ward.
