Percutaneous nephrolithotomy performed on the kidney stone in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis: a case study. Urology case reports, 3(4), 123-125.2214-4420https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eucr.2015.04.003https://hdl.handle.net/11491/1877A 68-year-old man with serious cervical kyphosis and dorsolumbar scoliosis due to ankylosing spondylitis was admitted with a stone 17mm in size in left kidney lower calyx. A percutaneous nephrolithotomy operation was decided considering the size and location of stone and the anatomical deformities of patient. The kidney was accessed through monoplaner triangulation method by giving a special position of the patient's spinal deformity and stone was successfully removed. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a feasible method in ankylosing spondylitis patients in case that the right position is achieved. Each patient should be assessed individually deciding on treatment methods. © 2015 The Authors.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAnkylosing SpondylitisKidneyPercutaneous NephrolithotomySpinal DeformityStoneArticle3412312510.1016/j.eucr.2015.04.003N/AQ3
