Arch Ital Urol Androl. 2014 Dec 30;86(4):293-4. doi: 10.4081/aiua.2014.4.293.

Abstract

Percutaneos nephrolithotomy (PNL) is the standard care for renal stones larger than 2 cm. The procedure has some major and minor complications. Renal pelvis laceration and stone migration to the retroperitoneum is one of the rare condition. We report the first case of intraperitoneal stone migration during PNL.
