Abstract

A complex staghorn calculus that is concurrent with an impacted large proximal ureteric calculi is rarely found in elderly patients, and morbidity and mortality rates are much higher if left untreated. We report the case of an 88-year-old female with complex high-volume renal and ureteral calculus who was treated successfully using a tubeless mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The entire stone was retrieved, and the patient fully recovered without any complications.
