Practical PCNL: From Access to Exit - A Hands-On Course (2017)

February 25, 2017 to February 26, 2017

Because of the relative paucity of PCNL cases in training programs which are not high-volume centers, many residents do not gain enough practical experience to feel comfortable with obtaining percutaneous access and performing PCNL. Concerns over morbidity of the operation due to a lack of familiarity and ability to troubleshoot challenges or complications may lead surgeons to avoiding PCNL when it is the ideal surgical approach to a stone. Making the 'rare' case into a 'routine' one by enabling hands-on experience in all phases of the surgery will address the gap in practice, allowing more urologists to offer PCNL to their patients.

Target Audience

  • Urologist

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to:

  1. Obtain percutaneous access to the kidney using fluoroscopy in combination with ureteroscopic and/or ultrasound guidance.
  2. Review instrumentation integral to optimizing PCNL success (including tract dilation, graspers, baskets, flexible nephroscopy).
  3. Perform prone flexible cystoscopy.
  4. Demonstrate the optimal methods for post-operative sealing or drainage of the percutaneous tract.
  5. Utilize flexible ureteroscopy and instrumentation in combination with PCNL to enhance renal access and stone treatment success.
  6. Routinely employ a ureteral access sheath during flexible ureteroscopy.
  7. Perform and review ultrasound imaging.
  8. Recognize and manage complications of PCNL.
  9. Apply knowledge gained in this course to develop a practice in which PCNL becomes an integral surgical procedure in the treatment of stone disease.
