    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Urology
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Horseshoe kidney is a frequent congenital renal anomaly.
    • Clinical issues often stem from hydronephrosis and renal calculi.
    • Thorough urologic evaluation is crucial for associated anomalies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the management of horseshoe kidney.
    • To highlight effective surgical interventions for associated complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical outcomes in patients with horseshoe kidney.
    • Evaluation of standard urologic procedures for management.

    Main Results:

    • Horseshoe kidney is manageable with standard urologic procedures.
    • Foley Y-V pyeloplasty effectively relieves ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
    • Attention to surgical details ensures favorable postoperative results.

    Conclusions:

    • Horseshoe kidney, while anomalous, has successful management outcomes.
    • Prompt urologic evaluation is recommended for horseshoe kidney diagnosis.
