Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy for upper urinary tract calculi in transplanted kidneys

Authors from China describe their experience with percutaneous nephrolithotomy for upper urinary tract calculi in transplanted kidneys. They confirm that it is a suitable way to treat such stones, and suggest it as initial therapy for stones other than those in the middle or lower calyx, particularly if they are small stones.
