Endourologic management of duodenal calculi in pancreas-kidney transplantation

Urol Int. 2005;74(4):371-2. doi: 10.1159/000084442.

Abstract

Duodenal stones formed during pancreas-kidney transplantation are usually associated with nonabsorbable sutures or staples. We report on the delayed formation of a struvite duodenal stone not attributed to foreign material, managed successfully with intracorporeal electrohydraulic lithotripsy.
