Abstract
Management of calyceal calculi has changed dramatically during the pas t 20 years. Minimally invasive techniques virtually have replaced open surgical stone removal. Even large and complex calyceal calculi may b e treated effectively with these minimally invasive techniques. Althou gh open surgical stone removal is preformed infrequently, a clear unde rstanding of the subtle renal anatomy aids the urologist in more effec tively treating patients with calyceal calculi and in limiting surgica l complications.
