Renal cell carcinoma in a horseshoe kidney treated with robot-assisted partial nephrectomy

Renal cell carcinoma in a horseshoe kidney treated with robot-assisted partial nephrectomy

Horseshoe kidney is one of the most common congenital renal fusion anomalies and the incidence of renal cell carcinoma in horseshoe kidney is predicted to be approximately 5.2/100000 individuals. Because horseshoe kidney merges malformations and vascular changes, open surgery is the standard for tre...
