Nephrocoloptosis is a medical book written by Howard Williams Longyear in 1910. The book provides a detailed description of the nephrocolic ligament, its anatomy, and its role in the causation of nephroptosis. Nephroptosis, also known as a floating kidney, is a medical condition where the kidney falls or drops down from its normal position due to the weakening of the supporting structures. Longyear discusses the historical background of nephroptosis and its prevalence among different populations.
