Abstract

Nephroptosis is rarely seen affecting the right kidney in majority of cases. The most common symptom is pain. Asymptomatic cases do not need any treatment however surgical treatment can be recommended for symptomatic cases. Here, we aimed to present our retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephropexy experience in a female patient with right-sided nephroptosis.
