case_images: (a) Patient 1: preoperative left retrograde pyelogram demonstrating calyceal diverticulum containing stones. (b) Patient 1: 15-minute film of IVP at 11 months after percutaneous holmium laser fulguration of the calyceal diverticulum demonstrating absence of stones and stable size of the diverticulum.
