Abstract
Page kidney is defined as the external compression of the kidney, typically by a subcapsular hematoma, that leads to hypertension due to hypoperfusion and ischemia. The treatment options include medical anti-hypertensive treatment, percutaneous drainage, surgical decortication and nephrectomy. Laparoscopic decortication of Page kidney is a newly defined minimally invasive management technique. We describe 2 cases of Page kidney that failed to improve with percutaneous drainage but were successfully treated with the laparoscopic approach.Entities:
