Our Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery Experience with Horseshoe Kidney
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF UROLOGICAL SURGERY - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: To share our experience with retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) done in patients with horseshoe kidney anomaly. Materials and Methods: Data from 107 patients who underwent RIRS for kidney stones between 2013 and 2016 in our clinic was retrospectively analyzed and 6 patients with horseshoe kidney anomaly detected on computed tomography (CT) were included in the study. Achieving stone-free status or having residual stones of ≤4 mm were considered operational success. Results: The mean age of the patients was 44.5±6.7 years. Four patients were male (66.6%) and two were female (33.3%). The mean stone size was 14.5±4.1 (10-22) mm. Three patients had pelvis stones (50%) and the rest 3 (50%) had lower calyx stones. Two patients (33.3%) were found to be stone-free on post-operative non-contrast CT results. Conclusion: RIRS should be performed by experienced surgeons in patients with horseshoe kidney.
