Abstract:
Objective To report a retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) by double renal veins.Methods A 28-year-old male patient with left low back pain for 6 months was diagnosed as left hydronephrosis and UPJO.A ureteral stent had been placed 3 months before and failed to improve hydronephrosis,so the ureteral stent was pulled out.CT scan showed that left UPJ went through the two renal veins,suggesting UPJO.Nephrogram showed that left GFR and right GFR were 35 ml/min and 34 ml/min,respectively.These results indicated mechanical obstruction of left upper urinary tract.The patient underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty.Results The surgical procedure was successful.Two left renal veins were found,and the ventral one was in front of ureter,compressing the ureter.An aberrant renal artery went into left kidney with the ureter.0.5 cm stenosis of ureteropelvic junction was excised,and pyeloplasty was performed.A ureteral stent was placed into the ureter,then the pelvis and the ureter were sew up in front of the ventral renal vein.The surgical time was 240 min,and blood loss was 50 ml.Postoperative hospital stay time was 4 d.During 4 months' follow up,hydronephrosis was attenuated significantly.Conclusion Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery for UPJO with aberrant two renal vein might be a minimally-invasive and effective procedure.
