[Nephropexy using the Aglietti procedure. Case reports]

The paper reports two cases of 3rd degree nephroptosis which were treated surgically using the technique described by Prof. Aglietti. Both cases were women suffering from associated pathologies. The need to distinguish between symptoms related to renal ptosis and those caused by different disorders required an accurate clinical and instrumental study to be performed in both patients. Only after the concomitant pathologies had been treated could the patients undergo nephropexy. The paper gives a brief description of the technique. The authors discuss the indications for surgery and analyse the results.
