Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Nephrology
- Anatomical Variations
Background:
- Horseshoe kidney is a congenital anomaly affecting renal anatomy.
- Aortic operations in patients with horseshoe kidney present unique surgical challenges.
- Anomalous renal arteries are common in patients with horseshoe kidney.
