Laparoscopic Nephrectomy for Renovascular Hypertension in a 6-Month-Old Infant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laparoscopic procedures continue to gain popularity over traditional open operations for a variety of abdominal and retroperitoneal surgical procedures. With regard to urological surgery, the first laparoscopic nephrectomy was performed in an adult in 1991. In the following years, the feasibility of laparoscopic management of pediatric urological disorders was described, and in 1992 the first laparoscopic nephrectomy in an 8-month-old infant with a multicystic dysplastic kidney was reported. We report the feasibility of laparoscopic nephrectomy for the management of renovascular hypertension in a 6-month-old infant with a dysplastic left kidney.

Case: Patient is an 18-year-old asymptomatic male with arterial hypertension due to bilateral renal artery stenosis. After the first autotransplantation, patient progression was adequate and was corroborated by kidney scintigram and Doppler ultrasound. The second autotransplantation had the same favorable results. Blood pressure was normal from June 2006 to September 2009 with no need for antih...

Renal autotransplantation has been described as an effective method for addressing complicated urological disorders, including debilitating ureteral injury or loss, upper ureteral malignancies, complex nephrolithiasis, loin pain hematuria syndrome, and branch or distal renal artery disease. Standard autotransplantation involves 2 distinct surgical procedures: nephrectomy and subsequent renal gr...

Thromboembolism is a rare complication of primary nephortic syndrome. Both venous and arterial thrombosis might occur in steroid responsive and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. This is the report of an infant with nephrotic syndrome and renovascular hypertension, complicated with asymptomatic intracardiac thrombus and managed appropriately with medical treatment.
متن کاملOpen Partial Nephrectomy for Pediatric Renovascular Hypertension
Pediatric renovascular hypertension is typically managed with revascularization, angioplasty, or radical nephrectomy. We describe the case of a 13-year-old boy with medically refractory renovascular hypertension who presented to our institution after a failed arterial bypass. Subsequent angiography and renin sampling of the segmental renal veins suggested that the lower pole of the kidney was a...
