Ureteral Mitrofanoff for clean intermittent catheterization and appendix conduit as antegrade colonic enema (ACE) as Malone procedure might be preferred in children. Both procedures could be performed by laparoscopy. This video shows laparoscopic Mitrofanoff and Malone procedures done in patient who have cerebral palsy and severe form scoliosis. Video Presentation: Simultaneous laparoscopic ureteral Mitrofanoff and Malone ACE procedures were planned in 17 years old male patient with cerebral palsy, severe form vertebral and extremity deformities, neurogenic bladder, bilateral vesicoureteral reflux and right nonfunctioning kidney. This video specifically highlights the challenges caused by unergonomic patient position and narrow surgical space caused by scoliosis and deformities of extremities. Both procedures were completed uneventfully by laparoscopy. Postoperatively, subureteric injection was applied to the Mitrofanoff orifice incontinence. Conclusion: Mitrofanoff and Malone procedures could be performed simultaneously by laparoscopy. Surgeon should be ready for ergonomic challenges and difficulties of orientation for surgical anatomy in patients having deformities of vertebra and extremities.
