Here we present an interesting case of a right ectopic pelvic kidney with a large stone and our experience using the laparoscopic approach. Our objective is to demonstrate an interesting and safe means of dissection and extraction of a large renal calculus. METHODS The patient was diagnosed with a large right renal calculus in an ectopic pelvic kidney. A laparoscopic approach was used in managing his calculus. The video demonstrates the techniques used in stone localization and extraction. RESULTS The stone was able to be extracted intact, and reconstruction of the renal pelvis was performed with 2-0 vicryl on an SH needle. The ureteral stent was removed after 6 weeks. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic pyelolithotomy is a safe and feasible option for treatment of ectopic renal calculi. © 2014FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 191Issue 4SApril 2014Page: e850 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2014MetricsAuthor Information Christopher Keel More articles by this author Arthur Caire More articles by this author Benjamin Woodson More articles by this author Benjamin Lee More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
