Treatment of renal calculus in inferior crossed renal ectopia.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is still the treatment of choice for selected cases of "surgical" stone disease. This is a case report of the surgical treatment for a renal calculus located in the inferior moiety of right-to-left inferior crossed renal ectopia. After a failed attempt at extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy, a successful percutaneous nephrolithotomy was done without complication.
