title: Laparoscopy-assisted percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in previously operated ectopic pelvic kidney.
abstract: A 35-year-old man with a left ectopic pelvic kidney and a prior history of open pyelolithotomy presented with recurrent multiple stones in the pelvic kidney. Complete clearance of calculi was achieved by laparoscopy-assisted PCNL (percutaneous nephrolithotomy). To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of laparoscopy-assisted PCNL in a previously operated ectopic pelvic kidney.
