Distal ureteral obstruction complicating percutaneous nephrolithotomy

Endourologic techniques for the treatment of surgical stone disease have proved cost-effective and safe with results comparable to open surgical procedures. Because these are new procedures, unexpected complications are going to occur. We have had 3 cases of complete distal ureteral obstruction unre...

Zusammenfassung:	Endourologic techniques for the treatment of surgical stone disease have proved cost-effective and safe with results comparable to open surgical procedures. Because these are new procedures, unexpected complications are going to occur. We have had 3 cases of complete distal ureteral obstruction unrelated to a ureteral calculus following a percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The obstruction resolved after extended nephrostomy tube drainage. These 3 cases and their treatment and pathogenesis are presented.
