  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Context:

  • Symptomatic renal ptosis can cause significant discomfort and impact quality of life.
  • Traditional and laparoscopic nephropexy are established treatments, but alternatives are sought.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous nephropexy for treating symptomatic renal ptosis.

Summary:

  • Six women with symptomatic renal ptosis underwent percutaneous nephropexy.
  • The procedure involved IVP and diuretic renogram assessments.
  • Successful treatment was observed in 5 patients, with pain resolution and kidney repositioning.

Impact:

  • Percutaneous nephropexy demonstrates potential as an effective alternative to conventional and laparoscopic nephropexy.
  • This minimally invasive approach offers a new treatment option for renal ptosis.
