Abstract:
Operative laparoscopy offers the patient a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery. We have recently performed a laparoscopic nephrectomy of the upper moiety of a crossed fused renal ectopia. The procedure lasted approximately six hours, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 3. He was able to resume normal physical activity in one week. This case demonstrates the advantages of minimally invasive surgery.
