    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.

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.
