Résumé

Minimally invasive surgery is rapidly evolving due to new technology
and techniques designed to improve patient outcomes. We
report a case of a young woman with an atrophic kidney secondary
to reflux nephropathy, suffering from recurrent episodes of pyelonephritis.
She was treated successfully using laparoendoscopic
single-site surgery (LESS). We also present a review of the literature.
