    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Congenital Abnormalities
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Horseshoe kidney is a common congenital renal anomaly.
    • It is associated with a higher incidence of complications and other abnormalities.
    • Understanding its presentation and management is crucial in pediatric care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cases of horseshoe kidney in children.
    • To identify the prevalence of symptoms and need for surgical intervention.
    • To discuss the surgical management strategies for pediatric horseshoe kidney.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of twenty pediatric patients diagnosed with horseshoe kidney.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations, associated anomalies, and surgical outcomes.
    • Discussion of surgical procedures performed.

    Main Results:

    • Fifteen out of twenty children with horseshoe kidney were symptomatic.
    • Nine children required surgical intervention for their condition.
    • A high frequency of associated renal and extra-renal abnormalities was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Horseshoe kidney in children frequently leads to symptomatic disease requiring intervention.
    • The presence of associated anomalies is common and impacts management.
    • Surgical approaches for pediatric horseshoe kidney are varied and require careful consideration.
