Simple Retrograde Kidney Stone

Percutaneous Staghorn Calculus
This patient had staghorn calculus filling the entire kidney. Two ESWL/USL treatments cleared 80% of the stone burden. This third and final procedure was completed using a holmium laser. The laser was used to fragment larger pieces so they could be retrieved with a stone basket. The smallest fragments were then "vacuumed" up.
