Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Open surgery presents significant patient trauma.
  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques are evolving as alternatives.
  • Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a key procedure in minimally invasive urology.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with crossed fused renal ectopia.
  • Surgical intervention was required for the upper moiety of the ectopic kidney.
  • Operative laparoscopy was selected as the surgical approach.

Findings:

  • A laparoscopic nephrectomy of the upper moiety was successfully performed.
  • The procedure duration was approximately six hours.
  • The patient was discharged on postoperative day 3.
