Abstract

This study features laparoscopic stone surgery and Y-V plasty procedure performed on a 26-year-old female patient presenting with a horseshoe kidney and multiple renal calculi. Port site extraction of ureteric stone allowed successful removal of stones from the renal pelvis and the upper calyx, thereby maintaining the minimally invasive nature of the surgery and obviating the need for the use of specimen retrieval bags. This case underscores the intricacies of managing stone disease with congenital anomalies and emphasizes the utility of laparoscopic surgery combined with endourological elements for its flexibility and adaptability.
