Urolithiasis in horseshoe kidney presents a unique challenge in decision-making and technical aspects of calculus treatment. We present our experience with a group of patients with symptomatic calculi in their horseshoe kidneys. We had 8 patients with 9 horseshoe kidneys bearing calculi. They all underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The median size of the calculi was 21 mm (range, 12 to 45 m...

The lifetime risk of developing genitourinary stone is 5-12%.  Males are more prone to calculus formation as compared females. data for the Indian population suggests that 12% people develop urinary calculi and half them end up with loss kidney functions. Symptomatic urolithiasis represents a common condition observed by surgeons urologists in an emergency setting. lower third/distal urete...

Duplex kidney (DK) is the most common congenital abnormality of the urinary tract, with an incidence of around 0.82%1,2. Basis of duplex kidney formation by embryology is explained as development of two ureteral buds separately from a single mesonephric duct gives rise to a duplex kidney with complete ureteral duplication. On the other hand, bifurcation of a single ureteral bud proximal to the ...
