Abstract
- A single dysplastic ectopic kidney associated with ectopic ureter or ureterocele defies detection even with repeated examinations using conventional imaging modalities and cystovaginoscopy under anesthesia, thus leading to significant delay in diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Laparoscopy can be a useful modality for the diagnosis, and also the treatment, of small ectopic kidney not found with conventional diagnostic method. We report three cases of transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy for ectopic dysplastic kidney.
