C-arm laser positioning device to facilitate percutaneous renal access.

Renal access is the most crucial step in the performance of percutaneous nephrolithotomy and is a difficult skill to acquire for novice surgeons. We report on a simple fluoroscopic technique based on the laser positioning device that emits an aiming beam common to modern fluoroscopy C-arm units.
