Previously, she had been operated for ablatio mammae, aortic valve replacement, incisional and inguinal hernias including recurrent inguinal hernia, as well as mesh implantation, cholecystectomy, and
nephropexy. During one procedure, due to intestinal obstruction, a 60 cm segment of small intestine had to be resected.
To much surprise, the abdominal wall remained taut and tight until the coughing ceased.M Bassini's greatness must not be limited to his inguinal hernia repair technique; he also proposed other important surgical techniques such as
nephropexy, subtotal hysterectomy, ileocolostomy, the cravat incision of the neck for thyroid operations (usually called a Kocher incision), suprapubic cystostomy, hip disarticulation, intrascapularthoracic amputation, and the technique for femoral hernia repair.
Typical open approaches, like LRV transposition, mesoaortic transposition,
nephropexy, renal decapsulation, and renal auto-transplantation [18, 44], are effective but invasive.
Mauck et al2 reported a relatively large series of upper-ureteral reconstructions using Boari flap with or without downward
nephropexy following the same treatment algorithm.
The renal allograft was found twisted 360 degrees on its vascular pedicle and ureter despite prior
nephropexy, likely secondary to adhesions in its upper pole.
Current trends in modern urology are the use of different types of implants made of synthetic materials of different chemical composition and the method of
nephropexy using peritoneum [1-4].
Surgical options include nephrectomy, variceal ligation,
nephropexy, and renocaval reimplantation.
Here, we aimed to present our retroperitoneaf laparoscopic
nephropexy experience in a female patient with right-sided nephroptosis.
