Abstract

Antegrade endopyelotomy was performed in a patient with pelvic kidney. Nephrostomy tube had been placed in the patient during a previous open pyelolithotomy. The nephrostomy tract was used for establishing percutaneous access. The ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) was balloon dilated and incised laterally under vision. At 3-month-follow-up renal dynamic scan showed no evidence of UPJ obstruction.
