Abstract
Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract are part of a family of diseases with different anatomical origins. Duplicated collecting systems can be defined as a renal unit containing 2 pyelocalyceal systems associated with a single ureter or with double ureters. The supernumerary kidney is a definitive accessory organ with its own collecting system, blood supply, and distinct encapsulated parenchima. The true incidence of supernumerary kidney remains unknown, but most cases are in males, are unilateral and on the left side. We present a case of an adult woman with a hypoplastic supernumerary kidney with a complete ureteral duplication and an ectopic junction. The case has been laparoscopically treated. We demonstrate that a laparoscopic nephro-ureterectomy is feasible and that the management of the complication (urinoma and fistula) can be managed conservatively. © 2013 Canadian Urological AssociationI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
