A supernumerary kidney is a rare birth defect where an extra kidney is present. This extra kidney has its own separate outer covering, blood supply, and collection system. Normally, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the treatment of choice for large kidney stones, but its ideal use for supernumerary kidneys is unknown. This report aims to show the success of a surgical technique called endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) for removing a big stone from the fused supernumerary kidney of a patient. A 48-year-old man experienced occasional mild chronic pain in his left flank and occasionally hematuria. An imaging scan showed a stone (2.5 cm, 924 Hounsfield units) in a fused supernumerary kidney on the left side. The stone was successfully removed with a single procedure of PCNL that consisted of PCNL and a retrograde ureteroscopy approach at the same surgical time. ECIRS management of urinary tract calculi can be a consideration for patients presenting with fused supernumerary kidney and large stone, offering a reasonable success rate.
重复肾是一种罕见的先天性缺陷,即存在一个额外的肾脏。这个额外的肾脏有其独立的外层包膜、血液供应和收集系统。通常,经皮肾镜取石术(PCNL)是治疗大肾结石的首选方法,但其在重复肾中的理想应用尚不清楚。本报告旨在展示一种名为内镜联合肾内手术(ECIRS)的手术技术成功地从一名患者的融合重复肾中取出大结石的情况。一名48岁男性偶尔感到左腰轻度慢性疼痛,偶尔出现血尿。影像学扫描显示左侧融合重复肾中有一颗结石(2.5厘米,924亨氏单位)。通过一次PCNL手术成功取出结石,该手术在同一手术时间包括PCNL和顺行输尿管镜检查方法。对于患有融合重复肾和大结石的患者,可以考虑采用ECIRS治疗尿路结石,其成功率较为合理。
