Abstract
V51 - Dusting utilizing suction technique (DUST) for percutaneous nephrolithotomy: Use of a dedicated laser handpiece to treat a staghorn stone
Highlights
Dusting, use of high frequency and low pulse energy-is commonly performed during ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy but reports on the ability of this method to treat large stones via percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) are limited
We report on the first clinical feasibility of a dusting technique during PCNL using a specially designed laser suction handpiece (LSHP)
Standard (30F) prone PCNL was performed via lower pole access and balloon dilatation
