Summary

This study details a minimally invasive technique for removing kidney stones from a malrotated kidney. Laparoscopic percutaneous transperitoneal nephrolithotomy successfully cleared recurrent calculus from the pyeloureteral junction.

Background:

Recurrent kidney stones (calculus) in malrotated kidneys pose surgical challenges.
Traditional surgical approaches may involve significant morbidity.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is an established stone removal technique.

Observation:

A novel laparoscopic approach was employed for stone removal.
The procedure targeted a recurrent calculus at the pyeloureteral junction.
The kidney was malrotated, adding complexity to the surgical field.

Findings:

Laparoscopic percutaneous transperitoneal nephrolithotomy enabled successful calculus removal.
The minimally invasive technique was effective in accessing the pyeloureteral junction in a malrotated kidney.
Complete stone clearance was achieved without major complications.

Implications:

This technique offers a viable, less invasive option for complex kidney stone cases.
It expands the utility of laparoscopic surgery in treating urological stone disease.
Further research may explore its application in similar challenging anatomical variations.
