Int Urol Nephrol. 2005;37(1):1-3. doi: 10.1007/s11255-004-6087-0.

Abstract

We report on an 11-weeks pregnant woman, who under went a percutaneous nephrolithotomy without the use of X-rays during the procedure due to 8-mm left upper ureteric stone. In the available literature, we didn't find any reported case about percutaneous stone removal without the use of X-rays.
