Laparoscopic nephrectomy is indicated in the treatment of many benign conditions of the kidneys. Hydronephrosis caused by obstruction of the ureter, either internal, or external, is one of the main indications for laparoscopic reconstruction. If an obstruction is prolonged, consequently, it leads to chronic inflammatory process accompanied by persistent and recurrent pain with fever, which eventually become resistant to therapy. If not operated sufficiently fast to resolve the causes, as a consequence it leads to hypofunction and ultimately afunction of affected kidney. In such a situation, the only therapeutic option is surgical treatment. By analyzing the case, we will try to illustrate the diagnostic algorithm and therapeutic treatment modality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
