Résumé
A 50-year-old female developed kidney stones on an eroded embolization coil 16 months after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) related bleeding complications. Retrograde ureteroscopy and thulium laser lithotripsy was performed to fragment the exposed portion of the coil into clinically insignificant pieces. Thulium laser coil fragmentation remains a potential strategy to remove eroded coils and their associated kidney stones; however, recurrent stone formation on the coil stump may necessitate repeat intervention if this conservative approach is pursued over radical antegrade coil removal. This case highlights the importance of continued surveillance and multidisciplinary management in preventing and treating coil erosion after PCNL.
