He was born with markedly dilated left megaureter. Since it disturbed his oral intake after birth, left temporary cutaneous ureterostomy was created at 3 days of age. Since his left kidney was dysplastic, laparoscopic left nephroureterectomy was performed using the stoma site of cutaneous ureterostomy as a multi-channel port site at 15 months of age. He had no complications after surgery, and the postoperative wound appearance was good. This is the first report of the stoma site being used as a multi-channel port site in the urology field. This surgical approach provides good cosmetic outcomes.
