Simplified coagulum pyelolithotomy using cryoprecipitate.
Coagulum pyelolithotomy has been beneficial in removing calyceal calculi when the diameter of the infundibulum and pelvis is adequate. By utilizing a simple, precise ratio of cryoprecipitate, thrombin, and calcium chloride (25:4:1), an effective coagulum was obtained in 7 consecutive cases with complete stone removal in 5.
