- Percutaneous Kidney Surgery Percutaneous kidney surgery is the treatment of choice for patients with larger stones and when the stricture is in the lower part of the kidney or when RIRS cannot be done.
- DISCUSSION These preliminary experiments suggest that image guided kidney surgery is feasible given that a geometrically descriptive surface is available intraoperatively.
- Donor kidney surgery is now almost always performed using a minimally invasive procedure, which requires much smaller incisions than traditional surgery.
