Renal pseudoaneurysm after micro percutaneous nephrolithotomy

Abstract

Postoperative bleeding due to pseudoaneurysm formation is the major cause of percutaneous kidney interventions. Micro percutaneous nephrolithotomy (microperc) is a one step procedure that used mostly lower pole stones. There are small series that reports technical feasibility and safety of microperc using the All-seeing needle. Here we state the first report of pseudoaneurysm and its treatment after microperc in the literature. [Cukurova Med J 2014; 39(3.000): 616-619]
