The ultrasonically guided nephrotomy technique using B-scanning to identify the localization of stones and Doppler sonography to identify avascular parenchymal areas for nephrotomies allows for transparenchymal stone removal without the need for renal artery clamping and renal cooling. In 175 procedures the average blood loss was 1,350 ml and the rate of residual stones requiring a secondary intervention was 2.8%. Despite the advent of new noninvasive treatment modalities, this technique is still applied in 23% of staghorn stones.
