Description
Tuan Thanh Nguyen and colleagues describe keyhole surgery for a blocked kidney junction in a horseshoe kidney in a 2026 case report and review. Horseshoe kidneys often develop ureteropelvic junction obstruction, and whether to cut the isthmus joining the kidneys during repair remains debated.
A 28-year-old Vietnamese man with recurrent flank pain and fever had a horseshoe kidney with severe right-sided swelling and a shrunken left kidney. Surgeons performed Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty combined with isthmusectomy, a minimally invasive first experience for the team. The report adds practical guidance for a rare anatomical challenge.
