Insights
Renal descensus surgery successfully treated a patient with a kidney stone and ureteral stricture. The Gil-Vernet procedure achieved excellent outcomes without complications, offering a viable treatment option.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Techniques
Background:
- A 61-year-old male patient presented with a 9 x 6 mm right renal calculus and a 2 cm right upper ureteral stricture.
- The ureteral stricture was a complication from a prior surgery for ureteral calculus.
Observation:
- The patient underwent renal descensus, a procedure involving the descent of the right kidney.
- The surgical intervention also included ureteroureterostomy, a connection between two ureters.
Findings:
- The Gil-Vernet surgical approach was employed for the renal descensus and ureteroureterostomy.
- The operation yielded excellent results, with no reported complications.
Implications:
- This case highlights the efficacy of the Gil-Vernet procedure for complex renal and ureteral conditions.
- The successful outcome suggests this surgical technique is a valuable option for managing kidney stones with associated ureteral strictures.
Abstract:
Renal descensus with the descent of right renal vein and ureteroureterostomy was carried out in a 61-year-old male patient. The patient had a 9 X 6 mm calculus in his right kidney and 2 cm long stricture in his right upper ureter that had been caused by the previous surgery for ureteral calculus. This operation, which was described by Gil-Vernet, provided excellent results without any complications.
