title: Contralateral renal and ureteral displacement following flank incisional hernia.
abstract: A case is reported of contralateral displacement of the kidney and ureter due to a left flank incisional hernia following a simple nephrectomy for a staghorn calculus in a massively obese female. Two previously reported cases of pseudocrossed renal ectopia due to renal displacement from incisional hernias in obese females are reviewed.
