RESUMO
Between January 1990 and December 1997, 61 patients with renal calculi underwent percutaneous nepholithotomy. In the immediate postoperative period, 49 renal units (80.3%) were stone-free. At three months, our overall success rate was 91.8% after spontaneous elimination of non-significant residual calculi (< 3 mm). Complications were observed in 9.8% (six cases); hemorrhage and sepsis were the major complications. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is an effective, safe and reliable alternative to the open operation.

We report an uncommon case of unilateral spontaneous hematoma of the right adrenal gland in a 22-year old young man. Preoperative diagnosis was made by ultrasonography and CT-scan. A right adrenalectomy was performed. Pathological evaluation showed an isolated hematoma without adrenal abnormalities. The diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are discussed.
