[Inferior polar nephrectomy for multi-recurrent inferior caliceal cystine lithiasis].
The authors report a case of left inferior caliceal cystine stones, which recurred despite well conducted medical treatment, 12 extracorporeal lithotripsy sessions, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. A left lower pole nephrectomy was finally performed. No recurrence on the left side was observed with a follow-up of 3 years. However, the patient developed two recurrences of the right side.
