Value of laparoscopy in the management of calculi complicating renal malformations
Abstract
A minimally invasive approach for urolithiasis patients with complex anatomic abnormalities occasionally necessitates the use of laparoscopic techniques, either alone or in combination with endourologic techniques. The management of these patients is best accomplished in centers with the facilities to provide a spectrum of endourologic and laparoscopic techniques. Two illustrative cases are described.
