TY - JOUR AU - Ugras, Murat AU - Gunes, Ali AU - Baydinc, Can PY - 2002 DA - 2002/09/18 TI - Severe renal bleeding caused by a ruptured renal sheath: case report of a rare complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy JO - BMC Urology SP - 10 VL - 2 IS - 1 AB - Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a minimally invasive intervention for renal stone disease. Complications, which are rare and usually presented as case reports, are diversified as the utilization of the procedure is expanded. The procedure causes less blood loss and less morbidity when compared to open surgical procedures. Yet, there are some reports involving severe bleeding and relevant morbidity during surgery. These are usually related with the surgical technique or experience of the surgeon. SN - 1471-2490 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2490-2-10 DO - 10.1186/1471-2490-2-10 ID - Ugras2002 ER -
