Ureteropelvic junction obstruction does not spare even the ectopic kidney

Robotic pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction is widely being done, but for anomalous kidneys, it is a bit challenging due to abnormal anatomy. The ectopic kidney lies outside renal fossa so the operative challenges it poses are a malrotation kidney, associated vascular anomalies, and short ureter complicating not only access but also the reconstruction. We present a case of right ectopic kidney with gross hydronephrosis due to pelvic ureteric junction obstruction. We further discuss the surgical challenges faced during its management and further outcome.

Abstract

Robotic pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction is widely being done, but for anomalous kidneys, it is a bit challenging due to abnormal anatomy. The ectopic kidney lies outside renal fossa so the operative challenges it poses are a malrotation kidney, associated vascular anomalies, and short ureter complicating not only access but also the reconstruction. We present a case of right ectopic kidney with gross hydronephrosis due to pelvic ureteric junction obstruction. We further discuss the surgical challenges faced during its management and further outcome.
