Staghorn calculi comprise a unique subset of complex kidney stone disease. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the gold standard treatment for staghorn stones. Despite continuous refinements to the technique and instrumentation of PCNL, these stones remain a troublesome challenge for endourologists and are associated with a higher rate of perioperative complications than that for non-staghorn stones. Common and notable intraoperative complications include bleeding, renal collecting system injury, injury of visceral organs, pulmonary complications, thromboembolic complications, extrarenal stone migration, and misplacement of the nephrostomy tube. Postoperative complications include infection and urosepsis, bleeding, persistent nephrocutaneous urine leakage, infundibular stenosis, and death. In this review, we report recommendations regarding troubleshooting measures that can be used to identify and characterize these complications. Additionally, we include information regarding management strategies for complications associated with PCNL for staghorn calculi.

Objective: This study aims to identify the risk factors for systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with a controlled irrigation pressure and to find which patients undergoing PCNL are likely to develop SIRS under the pressure-controlled condition.
Methods: A total of 303 consecutive patients who underwent first-stage PCNL in our institute between July 2016 and June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. All the procedures were performed with an 18 F tract using an irrigation pump setting the irrigation fluid pressure at 110 mmHg and the flow rate of irrigation at 0.

Time to Reach Stone-free Status in Children Undergoing Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery.
Urol J

Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Department of Pediatric Urology, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is increasingly used to treat renal stone disease in children, but stone-free rates vary, and there's limited data on how long it takes to achieve this status.
- A study evaluated 105 children who underwent RIRS, revealing that 42.2% achieved stone-free status after one procedure, while 75.5% reached this status within an average of 12.25 months, with variations based on stone types.
- The findings emphasize the importance of long-term follow-up for pediatric patients after RIRS, as achieving a stone-free status can take over a year.
