Abstract:
A retrospective study was conducted on 9 patients (10 kidney) who had undergone anatrophic nephrolithotomy for staghorn calculi. There were some complications which were such as residual stone 3 cases, renovascular hypertension 1 case, urinary fistula 1 case and wound abscess 1 case, but surgical intervention is the treatment of choice for patients with staghorn calculus disease.
