Laparoscopic Assisted Transperitoneal Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy for Stones in Pelvic Kidney  

Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

The most common form of renal ectopy is pelvic kidney and treating stone disease and achieving complete stone clearance in such anatomical anomaly is difficult. We report a case of patient with pain in left iliac fossa and evaluation revealed left pelvic kidney with multiple renal calculi. We describe the successful management of calculi with laparoscopic assisted Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in an ectopic pelvic kidney, stressing that this method is minimally invasive therapeutic option in ectopic nephrolithiasis requiring precision and expertise as it is a technically challenging and complex endourological procedure and rarely performed.
