Abstract:
The prolonged urinary leakage after percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a very rarely encountered complication. Mostly it occurs due to ureteral edema, stenosis or obstruction by residual stones. Generally minimal invasive procedures, such as J-J stent application, are satisfactory for the treatment. However, invasive therapy methods such as ablation or excision of nephrocutaneous tract, are recommended for the urinary leakage, which is resistant to this treatment. In this study we are presenting the minimal invasive method, which is applied to two patients with prolonged urinary leakage, who were resistant to the standard treatment methods after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
