Ovarian vein thrombosis: A complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
The medical and surgical complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) are well-known, including deep venous thrombosis. Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare, but potentially serious type of venous thrombosis that has not previously been reported as a complication of PCNL or ureteral stent placement. We report a case of OVT associated with ureteral stenting following a tubeless PCNL. This complication was successfully managed conservatively without any short- or long-term sequelae.
