Abstract:
We herein present our patient with left MCDK, the associated symptoms were the left flank pain and left flank mass. Though conservative management is proven to have some favourable outcomes, a nephrectomy was done for our patient due to the increasing intensity of pain and abdominal mass which was affecting the patient’s quality of life. Left sub-costal extraperitoneal nephrectomy was performed successfully at the CJ Oppong theatre of Sunyani Teaching Hospital in Ghana which gave a new life full of joy to our patient. We, therefore, recommend nephrectomy for a patient with increasing symptoms that reduce quality of life and early childhood screening for MCDK.
