The management of multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is controversial. There has been a shift from routine surgical removal to nonoperative management. However, recently, an argument has emerged with regard to the management of MCDK, with several studies recommending surgical removal.

We believe that laparoscopic nephrectomy should be offered as a management option to the families of children with unilateral MCDK.
