Abstract:
This case report aims to raise awareness of the seriousness of neglecting a kidney stone which can turn into a killer destroying the entire renal parenchyma and lead to radical treatment.
The development of new endoscopic techniques such as mini NLPC and ureteroscopy has made it possible to improve the management of kidney stones and even complex corraliform stones.
Nephrectomy by lombotomy remains an open surgical technique among others which allows the removal of the diseased kidney to avoid the appearance of complications such as pyelonephritis and pyonephrosis.
Keywords:
