Life-threatening abdominal compartment syndrome as a complication of supine super mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy, the first case report and literature review

<p dir="ltr">Abdominal compartment syndrome is a life-threatening complication of conventional percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), with few cases reported in different positions. We present the first case of abdominal compartment syndrome as a complication of supermini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMP) in The Galdakaomodified supine Valdivia position, possibly predisposing factors, diagnosis, and management. Although it is a challenging diagnosis and life-threatening condition, morbidity and mortality can be decreased with early detection and drainage of the intra-peritoneal fluid, causing increased abdominal pressure, which is the most important prognostic factor.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Urology Case Reports<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.eucr.2021.101578" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.eucr.2021.101578</a></p>
