“…Shockwave lithotripsy, retrograde intrarenal surgery, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, open surgery and laparoscopy are different modalities which have been used to treat stones in congenital abnormal kidneys. [5][6][7] However, international guidelines do not set a clear consensus on which treatment modality should be used to treat patients with those anomalies. 8 Due to advanced technologies and varieties of surgical modalities to treat patients with urolithiasis, ureteroscopic stone removal is often a less preferred approach.…”

Congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract comprise a variety of structural and functional malformations, these can range from mild asymptomatic to complex and life threatening. Renal anomalies predispose individuals to many complications, including recurrent urinary tract infections, stones formation, and impaired renal function. The knowledge of those anatomical variations is essential to urologists and trainees to help make correct diagnosis and offer appropriate treatment. Our aim is to define the role and evaluate the outcomes of flexible uretero-renoscopy (fURS) as an accepted treatment modality for urinary stone disease in two dystopic kidneys managed in our hospital.
