Laparoscopic Transmesocolic Pyelolithotomy in an Ectopic Pelvic Kidney
نویسندگان
چکیده
Management of large calculi in ectopic pelvic kidneys poses a challenge to the urologist. Risk of injury to surrounding abdominal viscera and vasculature makes open surgery as well as percutaneous nephrostolithotomy in an ectopic kidney a challenging procedure. Laparoscopic management avoids open surgery and associated morbidity and offers added safety. We report the management of symptomatic stones in a pelvic ectopic kidney lying anterior to the L5 vertebra and sacrum by transmesocolic laparoscopic pyelolithotomy in an 11-year-old child. Complete stone clearance was achieved with no complications and an uneventful postoperative recovery. The patient was discharged 72 hours after the surgery.

متن کاملRobot-Assisted Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty with Stone Removal in an Ectopic Pelvic Kidney
Ectopic pelvic kidneys with ureteropelvic junction obstruction and stones present a treatment challenge for the minimally invasive surgeon. A pure laparoscopic approach is less invasive than an open approach but is technically difficult with longer operative time. The use of the da Vinci robotic interface has the potential to refine the laparoscopic technique and improve outcomes. Here, we pres...
