E. Kikuchi et al., PERCUTANEOUS ENDOSCOPIC MARSUPIALIZATION OF A PYELOCALICEAL DIVERTICULUM WITH MILK OF CALCIUM STONES, Urologia internationalis, 60(1), 1998, pp. 62-65
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ctomy, Recently, however, these invasive procedures have been replaced
by percutaneous techniques, We report a patient with spontaneous rupt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.
