“…RIRS is another option, but it is not suitable for large stones and also difficult for anatomic alterations, including a tortuous ureter and mal-rotated kidney 9 . Open surgery is associated with higher morbidity due to large scars, bowel manipulation, abnormal vessel position, and increased post-operative pain 10 . PCNL is a first-line treatment option for removing large kidney stones, but the approach should differ in the ectopic or transplanted kidney 6 .…”

The chance of the development of hydronephrosis and the formation of stones is more in the ectopic kidney. Treatment of stones in ectopic kidneys is challenging for urologists due to abnormal location and rotation of the kidney and unfavourable local anatomy. We herein report a case of stone in a lumber kidney successfully managed by mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in a prone position. A 55-year-old male presented with right lower abdominal pain. His CT scan of the KUB reveals the right kidney is in an ectopic location and has a hyperdense structure measuring about 15 mm in length, seen in the right renal pelvis with mild dilatation of the pelvicalyceal system. The patient underwent right-sided prone mini PCNL under the subarachnoid block (SAB), and complete stone clearance was achieved. There was no adverse event during or after surgery or post-operative blood transfusion. Bangladesh J. Urol. 2022; 25(2): 122-125
