Case report: Treatment of urinary calculi using percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patient with ileal conduit and history of bladder transitional cell carcinoma

Abstract

Urinary calculi are a frequent complication of urinary diversion following radical cystectomy, including in ileal conduit systems. We report the case of a 38-year-old man with ileal conduit urinary diversion, following radical cystectomy for transitional cell cancer, who presented with symptomatic bilateral kidney stones. By reporting the medical record and management procedure for this patient, we aim to demonstrate the successful management of kidney stones via supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy, using an Alken telescopic metal dilator, under spinal anesthesia. Consistent with most literature, percutaneous nephrolithotomy was the best management procedure in this case.
