Kaufmann OG et al. – For patients who have been rendered completely stone free during uncomplicated PCNL, administration of hemostatic gelatin matrix to the nephrostomy tract may achieve immediate hemostasis and eliminate the need for placement of a nephrostomy tube. Although there have not been any clinical reports of urinary obstruction caused by the application of hemostatic sealants in the PCNL tract, we recommend using an occlusion balloon and subsequent placement of an indwelling ureteral stent to ensure maximum safety.
