“…In this study, three cases of liver injury were examined, all of which underwent right PCNL and subsequently developed liver injury [22]. Hepatic complications are rare and often not given much attention during Am J Clin Exp Urol 2024;12(1):46-51 surgery [23]. This study emphasizes considering uncommon and rare complications and being prepared for their occurrence.…”

Introduction: Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a widely used surgical intervention for removing large and complex renal calculi. While considered a safe and effective procedure, it can still lead to severe and rare complications, including bleeding, pulmonary complications, and liver dysfunction. Case presentation: This case report presents a case who underwent PCNL for a kidney stone and subsequently developed a series of rare and severe complications. Following the PCNL procedure, the patient experienced significant bleeding, a known but uncommon complication of PCNL, pulmonary complications, a common complication that may carry a risk of death, and acute liver failure, an exceedingly rare consequence of PCNL. Conclusion: In summary, while PCNL is a valuable technique for treating kidney stones, it is not without risk. This case underscores the importance of recognizing and managing rare complications following PCNL surgery, highlighting the need for vigilance, multidisciplinary care, and timely interventions to ensure favorable patient outcomes.

“…Although percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) remains gold standard treatment for large renal stones, there exists minimal reports describing management of liver injury during PCNL. [1][2][3] Here, we present a multi-institutional series of cases of liver injury during PCNL.…”
