Case report of a giant kidney stone removed by transperitoneal laparoscopic pyelolithotomy
Laparoscopic pyelolithotomy is a safe and effective surgical technique for the removal of large and complex KS. The minimally invasive approach ensures a rapid recovery process, minimal blood loss, reduced postoperative pain, and improved cosmetic results. However, it should be noted that the method requires highly skilled surgeons and advanced laparoscopic instruments were used (30° laparoscope, trocars, atraumatic graspers, maryland dissectors, monopolar/ultrasonic energy, and barbed suture for pyelotomy closure).
