title: Case report: Three-trocar technique for bilateral laparoscopic nephropexy.
abstract: Nephroptosis is a rare syndrome, which affects the right kidney in the majority of cases. In the current report, a case of bilateral nephroptosis with an unusual presentation is presented. We performed bilateral laparoscopic nephropexy using a three-trocar approach. The intervention was successful, with a short operative time and minimal blood loss. The clinical presentation of our patient and the surgical technique for bilateral laparoscopic nephropexy are described.
