The landscape of modern surgery continues to evolve, with laparoscopic techniques leading the way in transforming patient outcomes. At Sepuri Kidney Center, we recently encountered a challenging case that showcases the remarkable capabilities of minimally invasive surgery, even in complex scenarios.
A Patient’s Journey When our patient, a 60-year-old woman with severe rheumatoid arthritis, came to us, she faced multiple medical challenges. Her condition was complicated by:
- Chronic mobility issues due to rheumatoid arthritis
- A forgotten DJ stent left in place for six years
- Severe pyonephrosis
- A 5cm bladder calculus
Our Innovative Approach Using advanced laparoscopic techniques, our surgical team developed a comprehensive treatment plan that included:
- Precise perurethral cystolithotripsy
- Detailed diagnostic imaging
- Minimally invasive laparoscopic nephrectomy
Despite the complexity, our experienced team completed the procedure in just 45 minutes, minimizing surgical trauma and recovery time.
