title: [Retroperitoneal laparoscopic treatment of symptomatic caliceal diverticular calculi].
abstract: Treatment of urinary calculi in caliceal diverticular is indicated when they are symptomatic. Minimally invasive techniques, in particularly laparoscopic approach, occupy an increasingly important place in the urological therapeutic armamentarium and have changed from an open surgical approach to endoscopic treatment for the management of symptomatic caliceal diverticular calculi. Herein, we report the case of a woman with symptomatic calculi in an upper caliceal diverticular managed by retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach.
