Abstract
A 14-year-old white girl presented with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections beginning at age 18 months. Anatomical evaluation revealed bilateral duplication of the collecting systems. On the right side of the upper pole moiety ended at an obstructing orthotopic ureterocele. On the left side the upper pole moiety was associated with an ectopic ureteral orifice. The patient underwent laparoendoscopic right upper pole partial nephrectomy with ureterectomy. To our knowledge this is the first report of a laparoendoscopic upper pole partial nephrectomy. Details of the procedure are discussed.
