Sumario:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Laparoscopic pyelolithotomy was performed in a pelvic kidney with a large renal pelvis calculus. METHODS AND RESULTS: Laparoscopic pyelolithotomy was successfully performed in a pelvic kidney with an operative time of 310 minutes. The use of intraoperative fluoroscopy and a semi-automatic suturing device greatly facilitated the procedure. The patient's operative pain was managed with 3 doses of ketorolac; she resumed a regular diet the day after surgery, and was discharged on the first postoperative day. CONCLUSIONS: For patients with a large stone in the renal pelvis of an ectopic kidney, laparoscopic pyelolithotomy provides an effective approach.
