Abstract
|
|
|
|
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common procedure done for stone removal, as it is less invasive than an open procedure. But, several complications may occur. Hemothorax is a rare but severe chest complication of the supracostal puncture during PCNL. We experienced an acute hemothorax and lung collapse just after PCNL in a 66-year-old male patient with left renal stone. A chest tube was inserted for drainage and was removed after 9 days, when a chest X-ray revealed good expansion of lung. (Korean J Anesthesiol 2007; 52: 491∼4)
