INTRODUCTION The purpose of this video is to demonstrate the use of the robot to perform a transmesocolonic pyelolithotomy of a horseshoe kidney. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 35-year old female presented with vague abdominal pain. CT scan imaging revealed the presence of a left horseshoe kidney with multiple pelvicalyceal stones. The patient was positioned in the supine position. A total of 4 port...

Background. Extrarenal pathologies may be associated with renal position and fusion anomalies. According to the literature, our patient is the first horseshoe kidney case that had mega cisterna magna, arachnodactyly, and mild mental retardation. Case Report. A 9-year-old boy admitted because of the myoclonic jerks. He had a dysmorphic face, low-set and cup-shaped ears, arachnodactyly, and mild ...

◦ Geodesic flows on compact manifolds with negative sectional curvature. Later, we relax uniform hyperbolicity to an asymptotic one, called non-uniform hyperbolicity. Two examples of such systems are: ◦ Slow down of fA : T → T, see [9]. ◦ Geodesic flows on surfaces with nonpositive curvature. Introductory example: Smale’s horseshoe [21]. Let g : K → K be Smale’s horseshoe map, and σ : Σ→ Σ the ...

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic surgery is following a natural course as it decreases surgical aggression on the abdominal wall without undermining the curative and functional results. Although it is still being developed, single port surgery has meant an advance in this sense. MATERIAL AND METHODS We present the first single port laparoscopic pyelolithectomy surgery in horseshoe kidney, using conv...

Female urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly. We report a case of complete urethral duplication along with horseshoe kidney in a four-years-old female child presenting with incontinence since childhood.

Orthotopic multicystic dysplastic kidney with crossed fused ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly. This congenital anomaly may give an appearance of a solitary kidney morphology during the initial imaging evaluation. A solitary kidney should be carefully evaluated for the presence of duplication, horseshoe configuration, or crossed renal ectopy. Vesicoureteral reflux is a common finding associat...

A 72-year-old male was diagnosed incidentally with a 7-cm renal tumor in the right moiety of a horseshoe kidney during a routine physical examination, and was treated with laparoscopic radical heminephrectomy. The surgical time was 153 min and the estimated blood loss was 150 ml. The patient was discharged on post-operative day eight with no complications. Computed tomography angiography is des...
