Laparoscopic management of hydronephrosis in a woman with rare genitourinary anomalies: unicornous uterus, contralateral agenesis of the kidney, and contralateral ectopic ovary in the groin.
A 40-year-old woman had infected right-sided hydronephrosis and rare genitourinary anomalies-a dextroposed unicornous uterus-as the cause of the hydronephrosis, which had to be mobilized laparoscopically by dissecting the scar tissue. Furthermore, the patient had left-sided agenesis of the kidney and a left-sided ectopic ovary with a rudimentary tube in the inner inguinal canal.
