Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Percutaneous renal stone surgery requires detailed imaging to define stone burden and delineate the anatomy of the kidney and nearby organs. It is also essential to carry out safe percutaneous access and to assess postoperative outcomes. The emergence of CT as the imaging modality of choice for detecting renal calculi and the ability of CT urography with or without three-dimensional reconstruction to delineate the collecting system makes this the most versatile and sensitive imaging modality for pre- and postoperative evaluation. At present, intravenous urogram continues to play an important role in the evaluation of patients considered for percutaneous nephrostolithotomy. Fluoroscopy re-mains the mainstay of intraoperative imaging, although ultrasound is a useful alternative. Selection and application of appropriate imaging modalities for patients undergoing per-cutaneous nephrostolithotomy enhances the safety and success of the procedure. |
