Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Ureteroscopy-assisted retrograde nephrostomy (UARN) makes it is possible to continuously visualize the dilation of the ureter from the site of puncture to insertion of the nephro access sheath with minimal complications, and it is effective for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL). We herein report the case of staghorn calculi in a horseshoe kidney successfully treated by PCNL in combination with UARN.
