Abstract
Numerous reports have described the management of pyelocaliceal divert icula associated with milk of calcium renal stones, Traditionally. ope n surgical techniques to manage such diverticula have included marsupi alization and fulguration of the diverticulum, or partial/total nephre ctomy, Recently, however, these invasive procedures have been replaced by percutaneous techniques, We report a patient with spontaneous rupt ure of a pyelocaliceal diverticulum with milk of calcium renal stones, who was successfully treated with endourological procedures.
