This study details surgical treatment for severe nephroptosis (kidney prolapse) in two female patients. Successful nephropexy was achieved after addressing co-existing medical conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Urology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Nephroptosis, or kidney prolapse, can present with complex symptoms requiring careful differential diagnosis.
  • Associated pathologies in patients with nephroptosis necessitate a staged treatment approach.

Observation:

  • Two female patients with third-degree nephroptosis and concurrent medical conditions were evaluated.
  • Comprehensive clinical and instrumental assessments were crucial to differentiate symptoms of nephroptosis from other disorders.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention for nephroptosis was performed using Prof. Aglietti's technique.
  • Successful nephropexy was achieved following the successful management of patients' associated pathologies.

Implications:
