Abstract

The horseshoe Kidney is probably the most common of all renal fusion anomalies which often accompanies vascular anomalies and obstructive complications. Good post-operative results will be assumed with careful attention to the anatomy, vasculatures and drainge from renal pelvis at the time of operation. A 33 year old male was found to have horseshoe kidney with multiple renal stones, hydronephrosis and pyelonephritis. Through IVP, RGP, ultrasonogram, renal scan and renal angiography, the diagnosis was made. This is a report of the good results gained by isthmectomy, partial nephrectomy, ureterolysis and nephropexy.It was compared with several literature reviews.
