Case report: retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy in pyonephrotic nonfunctioning moiety of horseshoe kidney.
Laparoscopic removal of the pyonephrotic moiety of a horseshoe kidney is challenging because of inflammation, aberrant vasculature, abnormal kidney location, and the renal isthmus. We herein report retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy of the nonfunctioning pyonephrotic right moiety of a horseshoe kidney.
