Uncommon Complication

Urinary lithiasis in transplanted kidney is a relatively uncommon complication. However, it may lead to a significant morbidity and loss of renal function. The report presents the case of a 32-year-old male renal-transplant recipient, with a stone in renal pelvis who was treated successfully by tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The patient is currently stone free with no complication. This article also reviews in brief the treatment of this rare complication. Reviewing the literature showed that PCNL is safe and feasible procedure for treating nephrolithiasis in a transplanted kidney.

Tubeless Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the surgical procedure of choice to treat staghorn calculi. Most centres perform PCNL as the traditional inpatient procedure. However, outpatient PCNL has been successfully attempted and represents a feasible method of reducing hospital costs. We report the case of a 35-year-old female who underwent outpatient simultaneous PCNL for bilateral renal staghorn calculi. The patient was discharged in stable condition less than 3 hours following the procedure with minimal discomfort. To the best of our knowledge, this case report is the first to describe a successfully completed outpatient bilateral supracostal tubeless PCNL for staghorn calculi.

Type Of Surgery

The aim of this paper is to assess the efficiency and safety of the tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss and the need for transfusion in patients diagnosed with staghorn calculi treated by percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive technique used for large kidney stones. Hemorrhagic complications and urinary sepsis are serious complications associated with this type of surgery. Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic drug that has the property of reducing intra or postoperative bleeding. The experience with tranexamic acid in preventing blood loss during percutaneous nephrolithotomy for is limited. The use tranexamic acid in percutaneous nephrolithotomy for staghorn type stones is safe and is associated with reduced blood loss and a lower transfusion rate.

The aim of this study is to assess the efficiency and safety of the tranexamic acid in reducing hemmorrhagic complications and transfusion requirements in patients with renal lithiasis treated by percutaneous approach. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive technique used for large kidney stones (]20mm). Urinary sepsis and intra or postoperative bleeding are the very serious complications associated with this type of procedure. Tranexamic acid is used in the treatment of many haemorrhagic conditions. The experience with tranexamic acid in preventing bloodloss during percutaneous nephrolithotomy is very limited. The use tranexamic acid in percutaneous nephrolithotomy is safe and is associated with reduced blood loss and a lower transfusion rate.
