    Laparoscopic Pyelolithotomy: Optimizing Surgical Technique
    (MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2009) Salvado, Jose A.; Guzman, Sergio; Trucco, Cristian A.; Parra, Claudio A.
    The classic approach to renal stone disease includes shockwave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, and, in some cases, a combination of both. The usefulness of laparoscopy in this regard remains debated. In this report and video, we present our technique of laparoscopic pyelolithotomy assisted by flexible instrumentation to achieve maximal stone clearance in a selected group of patients.
