Abstract:
Method of nephropexy: Posterior vertical skin incision 5-6 cm of length, longitudinal incision of posterior lumbar fascia, medial retraction of erector spinae muscle, parallel incision with transverse muscle and medial retraction of quadratus lumborurn muscle in a successive process revealed lower pole of the kidney. 3-4 approximation sutures between the lower pole capsule of the kidney and the fascia in the upper incision site, and transverse supporting suture of fat tissue below the lower pole of the kidney were done. Nephropexy by posterior vertical incision was performed in 8 cases(14 kidneys), including 6 cases of bilateral nephroptosis and 2 cases of unilateral nephroptosis. Compared with nephropexy by lumbar incision, nephropexy by posterior vertical incision has superiority, such as less operative incision, shorter operation time, minimal sensory and motor paralysis.
