Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To focus on the technique and results of a single percutaneous puncture for the management of staghorn renal calculi. RECENT FINDINGS: The success rate for treating staghorn calculi with a single percutaneous puncture is over 90%. Animal and clinical studies seem to suggest that a single percutaneous access may be associated with reduced morbidity when compared with multiple percutaneous access punctures. SUMMARY: A single percutaneous access, whenever feasible, offers reduced morbidity without compromising excellent stone-free rates in the management of staghorn calculi.
