Percutaneous Suprapubic Cystolithotripsy Approach: For Whom? Why?

Abstract

As urethral diameters are narrow in pediatric patients and adult spastic paraplegic patients in whom an endoscopic approach could not be performed, PCCL is a safe alternative with low morbidity and complication rate. The technique is also more advantageous than open surgery with regard to cosmetic outcome and length of the hospital stay.
