Abstract

Purpose: To present the technique of laparoscopic assisted percutaneousnephrolithotomy for the treatment of stones in ectopic kidneys. Patients and Methods: The series included three children (mean age 16 years). Laparoscopic assisted percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was performed for renal stones. Results: The mean operative time was 90 minutes. There were no complications nor conversions to open surgery. The stone-free rate was 100%. One patient had a renal calculi on the opposite normal kidney and was treated with shock wave lithotripsy. The mean hospital stay was 4 days. Conclusion: Laparoscopic assisted PCNL is a safe, feasible and an effective option in the management of renal stones in an ectopic pelvic kidney.
