This study reports the first retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy on a horseshoe kidney. The minimally invasive technique successfully removed a renal mass, demonstrating feasibility for complex renal anatomy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Renal Oncology

Background:

  • Horseshoe kidneys present unique anatomical challenges for surgical intervention.
  • Partial nephrectomy is the standard for small renal masses, aiming to preserve renal function.
  • Complex enhancing cystic renal masses require precise surgical techniques.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old man presented with an incidentally discovered 2-cm complex enhancing cystic right renal mass within a horseshoe kidney.
  • A three-port retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach was utilized for tumor excision.
  • Three-dimensional CT with volume rendering was used for pre-operative anatomical assessment.

Findings:

  • Complete excision of the renal mass was achieved using cold Endoshears and Surgicel bolsters.

  • The surgical procedure maintained renal function with a warm ischemia time of 31 minutes.
  • This represents the initial documented case of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in a horseshoe kidney.

    • Implications:

    • Retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a viable and effective approach for treating renal masses in horseshoe kidneys.
    • Advanced imaging techniques like 3D CT are crucial for planning complex renal surgeries.
    • This case expands the application of minimally invasive surgery for complex urological conditions.
