Surgery of pelvic renal ectopia: a new approach.
We present 5 patients with ectopic pelvic kidneys who underwent surgery for associated disorders. In addition, the kidneys were repositioned to a higher location where they are less likely to interfere with vaginal delivery at a later date. Ectopic kidneys are mobile, and the vessels and ureters have sufficient length to allow for their repositioning.
