Abstract
Complete staghorn calculi present one of the most challenging conditions in managing upper urinary tract stones. The complexity of treatment increases significantly when combined with severe scoliosis, particularly in patients with a Cobb angle exceeding 90°. This case report describes the treatment of a patient with severe scoliosis, characterized by a Cobb angle greater than 90°, who also presented with complete staghorn calculi. The patient successfully underwent single-stage, totally ultrasound-guided, tubeless mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy, achieving excellent stone clearance without complications. This report aims to enhance the understanding of diagnosing and managing severe scoliosis in patients with complete staghorn calculi and to highlight the efficacy and safety of totally ultrasound-guided mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy as a surgical approach.
期刊介绍：
_Journal of International Medical Research_ is a leading international journal for rapid publication of original medical, pre-clinical and clinical research, reviews, preliminary and pilot studies on a page charge basis.
As a service to authors, every article accepted by peer review will be given a full technical edit to make papers as accessible and readable to the international medical community as rapidly as possible.
Once the technical edit queries have been answered to the satisfaction of the journal, the paper will be published and made available freely to everyone under a creative commons licence.
Symposium proceedings, summaries of presentations or collections of medical, pre-clinical or clinical data on a specific topic are welcome for publication as supplements.
