Abstract
A 42-year-old lady of Asian origin has been a regular attendee at urology outpatients over the past 18 months with intermittent hospital admissions due to recurrent renal stone (calculi) disease. Due to the number and nature of the stone burden, the decision was made for percutaneous nephrolithomy (PCNL) to be performed.
