Summary:According to other studies, our results reveal that extraperitoneal colon perforations can be successfully managed conservatively, but surgery with a temporary colostomy is the election treatment for intraperitoneal lesions. Abdominal CT scan is the most accurate imaging technique to evaluate patients with suspected organ injuries after PCNL[5,6,17] The treatment management can be conservative or surgical, depending on the patient's condition and the severity of the injury. The medical records of the seven patients with colonic perforations were analyzed, and data referring to potential risk factors such as patients characteristics, stone location, or details of the intervention were included [7]. The sex distribution and mean age illustrated in Table 1 reveals a higher number of perforations in men. Because it is a retrospective study, data regarding BMI is scarce.
