title: Computed tomography-guided transgluteal percutaneous nephrolithotripsy in an ectopic pelvic kidney: novel technique.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Management of stones in the ectopic pelvic kidney can be very challenging. Treatment of each patient should be individualized. We describe a new approach that is CT-guided transgluteal percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL).
  A 19-year-old male presented with symptomatic right ectopic pelvic kidney stones. He was treated with CT-guided transgluteal PCNL. The patient was stone free at postoperative day 1. No major complications were observed, and the patient was discharged home on postoperative day 2.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CT-guided transgluteal PCNL is a safe and effective option for selected patients with ectopic pelvic kidney stones.
