Abstract
|
|
|
|
The majority of giant hydronephrotic kidneys are nonfunctional and symptomatic, making nephrectomy the procedure of choice. When comparing open versus laparoscopic nephrectomy for giant hydronephrosis, pediatric laparoscopic nephrectomy for giant hydronephrosis is a good procedure because of shorter hospitalization, less analgesic use, improved cosmesis. Partial decompression provided space in the abdomen for adequate visualization while maintaining enough turgidity to facilitate dissection. We report our experience with pediatric laparoscopic nephrectomy for giant hydronephrosis in a nonfunctioning kidney
