The main goals for urinary stone treatment are to preserve renal function, reduce or avoid complications related to calculi, and to render the patient free of calculi as soon as possible. Anatrophic nephrolithotomy (ANL) is a valid and useful alternative for conventional staghorn calculi excision. Although excellent stone free rates can be achieved with ANL there are some drawbacks that may be of concern.

Materials And Methods: Fifteen farm pigs were submitted to left kidney ischemia and right nephrectomy during the same procedure. Animals were divided into three groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study reviews 23 patients who underwent laparoscopic correction for injuries caused by previous surgeries, identifying various types of complications like fistulas and stenosis.
- Most patients had complications following open or endoscopic surgeries, with specific cases including vesicovaginal and ureteral injuries.
- The results suggest that laparoscopic correction is generally safe and effective, but more research is needed to clearly define its role in treating iatrogenic injuries.
