Laparoscopic Nephrectomy for Renovascular Hypertension in a 6-Month-Old Infant

Laparoscopic procedures continue to gain popularity over traditional open operations for a variety of abdominal and retroperitoneal surgical procedures. With regard to urological surgery, the first laparoscopic nephrectomy was performed in an adult in 1991. In the following years, the feasibility of...

description Laparoscopic procedures continue to gain popularity over traditional open operations for a variety of abdominal and retroperitoneal surgical procedures. With regard to urological surgery, the first laparoscopic nephrectomy was performed in an adult in 1991. In the following years, the feasibility of laparoscopic management of pediatric urological disorders was described, and in 1992 the first laparoscopic nephrectomy in an 8-month-old infant with a multicystic dysplastic kidney was reported. We report the feasibility of laparoscopic nephrectomy for the management of renovascular hypertension in a 6-month-old infant with a dysplastic left kidney.
