Laparoscopic nephrolithotomy was used as an alternative to open surgery in a patient who had failed extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy and whose anteriorly located stone-bearing calix precluded percutaneous extraction. Endocavitary ultrasonography and color Doppler render the procedure safe and effective; localization of the stone, selection of an optimal nephrotomy site away from large vessels and where cortical thickness is minimal, and control of fragment clearance are greatly facilitated.
