Abstract:
Although most caliceal diverticula are asymptomatic, they can be associated with pain, and concomitant calculi are common. When treatment is indicated, a variety of surgical options are available, although the management is often a challenge even to the most experienced surgeon. We review the indications, surgical options, and outcomes for the treatment of caliceal diverticula.
