Standard-tract percutaneous nephrolithotomy for complicated calculi within horseshoe kidneys: A report of one case

A 48-year-old man was presented in the local hospitalized where he lived because of lower back pain one month ago. Then he came to our hospital for kidney stones on the right side within horseshoe kidneys and hydronephrosis diagnosed by imaging and abdominal ultrasound. After we proceeded single standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy with holmium laser combined EMS, his stones were totally removed with little intraoperative bleeding. No eventful post-operative complications occurred and the curative effect was very satisfied by KUB after stay in bed for 3 days reviewed. And a long-term follow up showed his recovery was quite well.
