Area of Science:

  • Pediatric surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Urologic oncology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic techniques are increasingly adopted for complex procedures in pediatric patients.
  • Traditional open surgery for nephroureterectomy and bladder diverticulectomy poses significant challenges in children.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old child underwent a combined laparoscopic nephroureterectomy and bladder diverticulectomy.
  • The procedure was technically feasible and successfully completed using minimally invasive approaches.

Findings:

  • Successful completion of a major therapeutic laparoscopic procedure in a pediatric patient.
  • Demonstrates the applicability of laparoscopy for combined upper and lower urinary tract resections.

Implications:
