[Laparoscopic pyelolithotomy].
The application of laparoscopy as a surgical technique in Urology has enabled to expand the therapeutic options for various pathologies. The treatment of urinary lithiasis localized in the renal pelvis is one of them. We report a laparoscopic pyelolithotomy, describing the operation step-by-step, from patient positioning and trochar insertion to drainage tube insertion and closure. The objective of this article is to show the technique, presenting it as an alternative option.
