Abstract

Urinary calculi are prevalent and result in significant morbidity,
with a marked economic impact. Various therapeutic options
exist, from medical to surgical management according to stone
size. Laparoscopic pyelolithotomy is a viable option for significant
staghorn renal stones. We report the case of a laparoscopic
pyelolithotomy performed on a 48-year-old man with a left recurrent staghorn renal stone secondary to an ureteropelvic junction obstruction following a grade IV renal trauma several years ago.
