[Nephropexy with superelastic porous titanium nikelide]

The authors propose a novel method of operative treatment of nephroptosis based on application of superpermeable porous titanium nikelide. The method provides a complete recovery of blood flow and urodynamics in the low kidney in strict fixation of the kidney in its physiological state due to formed functional scar (invasion of the vessels and collagen by porous tissue). The technique of the operation consists in lumbotomy in the tenth intercostal place with reaching the top of the kidney with placement of the plate of porous titanium nikelide. The kidney takes the right place when pressed to the diaphragm. Rapid adhesion of the kidney and tissues in the diaphragm region is provided by unique characteristics of the porous implant. Addition fixation of the kidney is not necessary, the scar at the place of implantation is rather elastic.
