title: [Multiple non-responding ESWL lithiasis in ectopic pelvic kidney: laparotomic surgical management].
abstract: A 34 year-old male with multiple lithiasis of ectopic pelvic left kidney, which for 5 years had been causing pain in the left iliac region irradiating to ipsilateral inguinal region and testis. 4 ESWL treatments were unsuccessful. The diagnostic imaging (Angio-CT + Uro-CT) showed ectopic pelvic left kidney with abnormal vascularisation, characterised by multiple lithiasis extending in total area of 4x2 cm with shorter ureter. Right kidney was in normal position. A left pyelocalicolithotomy after DJ stent positioning was performed.
