PCNLRobot assisted pyelolithotomyPercutant nephrolithotomy is a standard procedure for stones treatment over 2 cm.The puncture will be performed with an 18-G nephrostomy needle. The access thus gained guaranteed the transpapillary route of the percutaneous tract, a basic condition for the prevention of bleeding. Subsequently, following withdrawal of the puncture needle and urine drainage, a flexible guidewire will be inserted and advanced to the upper calyx or ureter.
Robot assisted pyelolithotomyRobot assisted pyelolithotomyRobot assisted pyelolithotomy, is a new technique to remove stones of more than 2 cm. A 12-mm camera port is placed at the level of the umbilicus and lateral. Two 8-mm robotic trocars are placed under direct vision and a 12-mm assistant port is placed in the midline a 5-8 cm above the umbilicus. After reflecting the colon medially, the renal pelvis will be dissected and identified, a flexible cystoscope will be inserted via an assisted trocar and introduced into the renal pelvis through a minor incision. The kidney stones will then be extracted with a basket and either removed via the port or placed in a specimen retrieval bag.
