AI Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally-invasive procedure primarily used to treat complex kidney stones, including those found in kidney transplant patients.* -
- A case involved removing a 2.6 cm stone from a 43-year-old man with two kidney transplants, presenting specific challenges due to the allograft's location.* -
- The procedure was successful, resulting in no complications and no remaining stone burden, highlighting the rare use of PCNL in patients with dual renal allografts.*
Article Abstract
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy is a minimally-invasive procedure used in the setting of complex stone burden. Among its uses, PCNL can be employed to treated renal allograft calculi. This case presented a unique challenge and a rare usage of PCNL that involved removal of a 2.6 cm stone that presented in a 43-year-old male with dual renal allografts. The unique location of the allograft presented challenges that were navigated successfully with an uneventful postoperative course and no residual stone burden. The utilization of PCNL to treat calculi in dual renal allografts has been minimally reported in the literature.

Evidence-Based Framework for Surgical Irrigation Fluid Stewardship and Endoscopic Case Prioritization During Fluid Shortages.
Urol Pract

Department of Urology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.
Introduction: The US supply disruption of surgical irrigation fluids in September 2024 prompted the need for fluid conservation and potential deferral of urology procedures. We characterized fluid use in common endoscopic procedures to articulate recommendations for irrigation fluid stewardship and case prioritization during fluid shortages.
Methods: We reviewed case volumes and irrigation fluid use for endoscopic urological procedures at our institution during January-September 2024.
A Flipped Classroom Model to Enhance Simulation Education for Percutaneous Renal Surgery.

Department of Urology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.
Introduction: The limitations of lectures are magnified when teaching technical skills. A "flipped classroom" (FC) model allows learners to first review material and replaces lectures with active teacher-learner engagement. FC has been shown to improve knowledge retention, but its impact on skill acquisition is unknown.

Background: There is no systematic classification of renal vascular injuries conducted for severe post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) bleeding.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to explore the various types of artery injury and clinical characteristics of patients who underwent transcatheter angioembolization (TAE) after PCNL.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 52 patients who underwent renal arteriography (RA) because of severe bleeding after PCNL between April 2009 and December 2023.
Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery for a Large Stone in a Rare Fused Supernumerary Kidney.

A supernumerary kidney is a rare birth defect where an extra kidney is present. This extra kidney has its own separate outer covering, blood supply, and collection system. Normally, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the treatment of choice for large kidney stones, but its ideal use for supernumerary kidneys is unknown.
