Abstract

Renal autotransplantation and ex vivo surgery in renal calculus disease are reviewed and their indications were discussed. In recent years, renal autotransplantation and ex vivo surgery have been applied in the management of renal calculus diseases. This technique has been believed to be a complete method for removing extensive renal calculi. However, this technique has some disadvantages such as technical difficulties and serious complications. Therefore, this technique should be indicated for cases carefully selected. At present, indications of this technique in the management of renal calculus disease are as follows; multiple or complicated calculi contained in a solitary kidney with narrow infundibla and dilated calices or in the kidney with history of previous surgery for calculus disease. This technique might not be chosen in those cases with perihilar inflammation, uncontrollable infection in the kidney or extensively damaged kidney (S-Cr 2.5 mg/dl, especially in solitary kidney).
