Abstract
Percutaneous removal of upper urinary tract calculi has become an accepted alternative to surgical removal. Calculi may be removed through large nephrostomy tracts under fluoroscopic or endoscopic control. Close cooperation between the radiologist and urologist should increase the success rate of the procedure.
