Abstract

Calyceal diverticula are rare findings in children, often identified due to symptomatic presentation. We present the unique case of an incidentally found calyceal diverticula in a 5-year-old girl with a large extra-renal component, which was successfully excised in a robot-assisted laparoscopic procedure that was without complication.
