We reported a case of sigmoid colon cancer with horseshoe kidney. A 79-year-old man had lower abdominal pain and underwent colonoscopy. The results of colonoscopy revealed sigmoid cancer. Preoperative computed tomography revealed horseshoe kidney. He underwent radical laparoscopic surgery. The histopathological diagnosis was pStage Ⅱa(The 9th Edition). He has not recurred 22 months later after operation. Surgery for colorectal cancer with congenital anomalies of the urinary tract requires attention to intraoperative secondary injuries...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship between low kidney volume and subsequent estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in eGFR category G2 (60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) population. METHODS: In this retrospective study, we evaluated 5531 individuals with eGFR category G2 who underwent medical checkups at our institution between November 2006 and October 2017. Exclusion criteria were absent for follow-up visit, missing data, prior renal surgery, current renal disease under treatment, large renal masses, and horseshoe kidney...

INTRODUCTION: Horseshoe kidney (HK) is an anatomical variant characterised by abnormalities in the position, rotation, and vascular supply of the kidney, with functioning renal masses on both sides of the vertebral column fused together at the isthmus. Due to the altered pattern of kidney vasculature, endovascular aortic repair for aortic abdominal aneurysm (AAA) in the presence of HK requires vascular anatomy specific planning. REPORT: A 68 year old male, with multiple comorbidities, presented with an asymptomatic AAA and HK...

The purpose of this article is to highlight an innovative technique in the surgical management of aortic aneurysms in the presence of a horseshoe kidney. The technique involves an anterograde aortic bypass from the distal thoracic aorta to the major renal artery with the primary advantage to a significant reduction in renal ischemia time.

To present a patient with horseshoe kidney and bilateral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) which has not been reported so far. A 61-year-old woman presented with abdominal mass and recent episodes of gross hematuria. Imaging revealed malignant lesion of lower calyces of the right kidney and isthmus of horse-shoe kidney with midline crossing to the left side. Finally, the patient underwent bilateral enbloc radical nephroureterectomy and pathology evaluation was compatible with bilateral squamous cell carcinoma. This is the first report of bilateral SCC in horseshoe kidney which was managed via open enbloc radical nephroureterectomy...

Background One of the main risks associated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is bleeding. In the present study, efforts are made to evaluate the pre-operative predictive factors contributing to bleeding due to the procedure of PCNL. Materials and methods From December 2019 to November 2021, data were collected prospectively from 193 patients undergoing PCNL procedures at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, India. Following PCNL, to check for hematuria and the extent of blood loss, the urethral catheter's and nephrostomy tube's outputs were evaluated...

OBJECTIVES: Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is defined as the presence of multiple noncommunicating cysts of various sizes, detected sonographically, without evidence of functioning renal parenchyma on dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scan. It has an incidence of 1:4000 live births. They are more commonly diagnosed in boys, usually on the left side, but may also be bilateral. There is the presence of primitive ducts surrounded by fibromuscular connective tissue. These are because of the disturbed connection of the ureteric bud with renal blastema and abnormal division at the stage of metanephros, resulting in an abnormal metanephros differentiation...

A 52-year-old, Japanese man presented to the hospital with a complaint of anal bleeding, and detailed examination resulted in a diagnosis of locally advanced rectal cancer. The patient underwent total neoadjuvant therapy followed by short-course radiation therapy and consolidation chemotherapy, which provided a partial response. After preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a horseshoe kidney, robot-assisted, precise, laparoscopic, low anterior resection with D3 dissection and ileostomy construction was performed...

Abnormalities in renal fusion represent a subset of congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT). Horseshoe kidneys (HSKs) are the fusion of kidneys at their lower poles. It is the most common form of CAKUT. Symptoms are usually subtle. The diagnosis is usually made incidentally during childhood. Rarely does an HSK become symptomatic later in life. We present the case of an 88-year-old female with a history of HSK who presented to the emergency department (ED) with a three-week history of left-sided flank pain, intermittent nausea, and reduced urine output...

Materials and Methods: Retrospective chart review of all pediatric patients who underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) for UPJO in challenging cases between 2013 and 2021 was included. Demographics, perioperative surgical data, complications, and results are described...

BACKGROUND: We previously described the KINSSHIP syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder associated with intellectual disability (ID), mesomelic dysplasia and horseshoe kidney,caused by de novo variants in the degron of AFF3. Mouse knock-ins and overexpression in zebrafish provided evidence for a dominant-negative (DN) mode-of-action, wherein an increased level of AFF3 resulted in pathological effects. METHODS: Evolutionary constraints suggest that other mode-of-inheritance could be at play...

Abdominal ectopic pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study reports a case of advanced abdominal ectopic pregnancy at 26-weeks' gestation in a 31-year-old primigravida whose conception was a result of in vitro fertilization because of infertility due to male factors. Her past history is significant for a congenital Horseshoe kidney. Initially, she presented at the 8th week of gestation with a clinical picture that is consistent with ectopic abdominal pregnancy; however, she refused to terminate her pregnancy despite medical advice...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Edward syndrome is a severe chromosomal defect that occurs as a result of non-disjunction through meiosis. It presents with cardiac septal defects, horseshoe kidneys, patent ductus arteriosus, central nervous system dysgenesis, distinctive craniofacial deformities, and overriding or overlapping fingers. Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY) is found in 1 in 660 newborn males. It is considered to be one of the most common genetic causes of infertility. It manifests with small firm testes, androgen insufficiency, and azoospermia...

BACKGROUND: Horseshoe kidney (HSK) represents a unique challenge for performing pyeloplasty due to its anomalous anatomy. Our study aimed to report our results in treating children with hydronephrosis in HSK and to investigate the differences in prognosis based on the cause of obstruction and the surgical approach. We also aimed to share our experiences by characterizing the success rates and complications after surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of hydronephrosis patients with HSK who were treated with pyeloplasty from August 2009 to June 2022...

Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is the most common renal fusion anomaly. It frequently consists of kidney fusion in the lower pole across the midline and occurs during embryogenesis. The incidence of malignancies in HSKs can be 3-4 times higher than that in normal kidneys. A 69-year-old man with a voluminous right kidney neoplasm in HSK and a single omolateral axillary lymphadenopathy underwent complete excision of right axillary lymphadenopathy and ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy of the right kidney expansive lesion...
