Packing of Renal Fossa: Useful Technique for Intractable Bleeding after Open Pyelolithotomy Surgery
A 62 year old female patient had a large staghorn calculus. IVP showed intra renal pelvis. She developed intractable bleeding after calulus was removed. She was managed with packing of renal fossa. Packs were removed in the ward under sedation. She developed urinary fistula which closed spontaneously after 2 weeks. The renal functions were normal even though packs were kept in renal fossa for more than 36 hrs.
