Laparoscopic selective clipping of upper moiety vasculature and ureter without partial nephrectomy: A novel technique for pediatric urinary incontinence due to ectopic ureter associated with poor functioning upper renal moiety
The aim of this study was to present a novel laparoscopic technique for persistent urinary incontinence in pediatrics due to ectopic ureter associated with poor functioning upper renal moiety.Prone retroperitoneoscopic approach for heminephrectomy: Specific advantages relating to access to vascular pedicle
The lateral approach is more widely used in retroperitoneoscopic (RP) heminephroureterectomy (HNU) due to familiar orientation and ease of conversion. The prone approach however gives early and easy access to the vascular pedicle. The main reason for not adopting a prone approach more widely is the perceived difficulty in lower ureteric access. We present a series of 30 HNUs where the prone approach was utilized extremely effectively with no conversions and few complications.
