- Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) is the preferred method for treating large kidney stones, but can occasionally lead to rare complications like injuries to nearby organs, such as the gall bladder (GB).
- A case was reported where a patient experienced GB perforation after PCNL, which was identified during the procedure when the surgeon noticed unusual fluid during the initial puncture.
- The situation was addressed immediately with laparoscopic cholecystectomy, highlighting the importance of being aware of such complications for timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious outcomes.
