[Percutaneous nephropexy]
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous nephropexy in symptomatic renal ptosis.
Methods: From August 1997 to September 1999, 6 women aged 28-49 years (mean 34.3) with symptomatic renal ptosis underwent percutaneous nephropexy. All patients were evaluated preoperatively by IVP and diuretic renogram in the standing and lying positions. Patient follow-up ranged from 14-34 months (mean 21).
Results: Mean operating time was 30 minutes and mean length of hospital stay was 24 hours. Treatment was successful in 5 patients; lumbar pain disappeared and the kidney was fixed in a higher position.
Conclusions: Percutaneous nephropexy can be an alternative to conventional and laparoscopic nephropexy.
