Presence of a Novel Anatomical Structure May Cause Bleeding When Using the Calyx Access in Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy.
Abstract
Fused renal pyramid (FRP) is a kidney anatomical structure which was first identified by us. The vascular anatomy of FRP exhibits different from that of the normal renal pyramid (NRP), manifested by the distribution of the ectopic interlobar arteries in FRP. In this study, we analyzed the effect of FRPs on bleeding when using calyx access in mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
