ABSTRACT = {Patients with pelvic kidneys are at an increased risk of 
developing ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) 
and nephrolithiasis with limited endourologic options. 
A 54-year-old man with a left pelvic kidney, recurrent 
nephrolithiasis, and 12 previous ureteroscopies presented 
with left UPJO and lower pole calyceal stones. After two 
failed ureteroscopic attempts, an open pyelolithotomy 
and pyelocystostomy were performed. After 30 months, 
he continues to be asymptomatic without recurrence of 
nephrolithiasis. This constitutes the fifth such reported 
case. Therefore, pyelocystotomy is a good option for 
patients with pelvic kidneys, UPJO and recurrent 
nephrolithiasis refractory to endourologic procedures.},
