“…In an HSK patient, a percutaneous approach is difficult due to the medial location of the calyx, so a cranial and lateral approach is more often required (Kehagias et al). Eryildirim et al (2017) assessed the efficacy and safety of two different techniques -PCNL versus RIRS -in the management of stones in patients with HSK. Stone-free rates (about 80 % after 1 week period) and the percentage of cases with residual fragments were comparable in both techniques.…”

Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is the most common kidney malformation. This review analyses the literature surrounding the etiology, morphology and clinical anatomy of these kidney fusion anomalies. A systematic literature search was carried out using the Science Direct and Scopus applications. HSK is characterized by three anatomic abnormalities: ectopia, malrotation and vascular changes. The study put emphasis especially on blood supply and upper urinary tract changes in HSK's patients. Arterial blood supply was analysed not only basing on Graves pattern, but also a new model of supply created on horseshoe kidneys computed tomography was taken into account. In addition, study presents clinical aspects of especially significant pathology of HSK, like hydronephrosis, stones and urinary tract infection. This study focuses also on congenital anomalies associated with horseshoe kidney.
