Nephrectomy of Multicystic Dysplastic left Kidney in an 18-year-old female: A case report and literature review at Sunyani Teaching Hospital (Ghana)

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.
