[Treatment of intradiverticular lithiasis by percutaneous methods (19 caliceal diverticuli)].
The main technical procedures in percutaneous nephrolithotomy are the direct puncture of the diverticulum (precise puncture may be required to place the tract directly on to the stone), and treatment duration the diverticulum could be coagulated and a large nephrostomy catheter could be left in place two days. No complication was encountered. One patient refused the treatment after unsuccessful puncture. The nephrostomy tube was left open for two days of drainage. Mean hospital stay was 5 days. Three patients required E.S.W.L because of persistent symptoms. One month after treatment 13 of 18 patients intravenous urography showed obliteration of the diverticulum (72%); Three months after 84% (15/18) of our patients were stone free and 94% (17/18) symptom free. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy should be performed for symptomatic patients, it has low complication rate and should be reserved for patients with persistent symptoms after E.S.W.L.
