Five patients who developed urolithiasis after urinary diversion or reconstruction using the intestine were treated with percutaneous nephro-uretero lithotripsy (PNL). These patients were successfully treated, and we did not experience any severe complications. For the stone removal in this case, PNL seems to be superior to other open surgery methods.
