Introduction The performance of robot‐assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty has recently been increasing in frequency. However, patients with duplicated renal pelvises and ureters can present challenges. Case presentation A 71‐year‐old woman presented flank pain was diagnosed ureteropelvic junction obstruction an incomplete collecting system. Preoperative imaging did not reveal the details stenosis...

INTRODUCTION A duplicated renal collecting system is a relatively common congenital anomaly rarely presenting in adults. AIM In this video we demonstrate our step-by-step technique of Robotic heminephrectomy in a patient with non-functioning upper pole moiety. MATERIALS AND METHODS Following cystoscopy and ureteral catheter insertion the patient was placed in 60° modified flank position wit...

Ectopic insertion of the ureter in the genitourinary tract is a rare congenital disorder, usually associated with ureteral duplication. Identification of the insertion open is critical for ureteric re-implantation. However, the challenge in the diagnosis of ectopic insertion of the ureter usually is to identify its insertion, particularly when the affected ureter is not dilated. Multi-detector ...

INTRODUCTION Nephrolithiasis is a multifactorial disease related to genetic disorders and environmental factors. Kidney stones are more common in adults and are associated with several metabolic and anatomical disorders. The major anatomical abnormalities, such as obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction, horseshoe kidney, complete or incomplete duplicated ureter, bifid pelvis, and medullary s...

Congenital variations in urinary tract anatomy present unique surgical challenges when they present without prior knowledge. Ectopic ureters occur as a rare anatomic variation of the urinary tract and are often associated with duplicated renal collecting systems. While the condition is uncommon, even more atypical is its discovery and subsequent diagnosis during surgical intervention for treatm...

A 43-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with complaints of recurrent frequency and lower abdominal discomfort. Her past history was notable for recurrent acute cystitis. Urinalysis showed normal findings. Intravenous urography revealed bilateral ureteric duplication. The right side was shown as partial ureteric duplication, while left side was complete ureteric duplication demonstratin...

Purpose: Prevalence of ureter and kidney duplication is roughly 1 per 125 people, and is associated with vesicoureteral reflux to lower pole in about 45% of cases. From antireflux surgical principles viewpoint, standard antireflux surgeries can be performed in these kidneys without releasing ureters from each other. We studied the results of Gil-Vernet antireflux surgery in 12 patients with dup...
