Laparoscopic Assisted ultrasound guided Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in Ectopic Pelvic Kidney

We report a patient with pain, abdominal palpable mass and a history of previous open renal stone surgery.  Imaging studies showed a right pelvic kidney with multiple calyceal stones. We describe the successful management through laparoscopic assisted percutaneous nephrolithotomy with ultrasonography (PCNL) in ectopic pelvic kidney, stressing that this method is a minimally invasive therapeutic option in such cases; especially ultrasound was used for locating the stones and taking access to the collecting system instead of the fluoroscopy.
