Sir,

I read this interesting surgical technique by Lu B et al. regarding the nephroscopic management of the giant infected pancreatic pseudocyst [1]. I compliment the authors for this very innovative technique, but I have very basic comments regarding this manuscript.

The title of the manuscript is misleading and probably wrong. The technique cannot be called as nephroscopy, as nephroscopy means looking inside a kidney by a telescope. Nephroscopy is an endoscopic technique for evaluation and management of calculi or other lesions inside the kidney [2]. What was done in the above-mentioned technique was pseudocyst-scopy. Yes, nephroscope and the dilatation techniques that are routinely used for a standard per-cutaneous nephroscopy were used here, but the procedure would be called as a “pseudocyst-scopy using a nephroscope” and not nephroscopy.
