Abstract:
A 21-year-old woman with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome presented with symptomatic right renal mobility. Standing IV pyelogram demonstrated a 7 cm descent of the right kidney without hydronephrosis. She underwent a retroperitoneal single-port nephropexy without complications. At three months, imaging confirmed stable renal position with complete symptom resolution. This case highlights single-port robotic nephropexy as a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment with favorable short-term outcomes.
