Abstract:
The increasing use of laparoscopy as first line surgical choice turned the iatrogenic diaphragmatic injury during transperitoneal nephrectomy from an unfrequent complication into a potential risk. We report the laparoscopic management of a iatrogenic diaphragmatic injury during a laparoscopic transperitoneal nephrectomy in a 66-year-old woman with a xantogranulomatous pyelonephritis due to an infected Staghorn stone.
