What about horseshoe kidney?


Empowering you to live your best life.
Horseshoe kidney, also known as horseshoe kidney, is a common type of renal fusion deformity. At 4-6 weeks of human embryo development, the medial branches of bilateral ureteral buds fuse together, inducing the lower or upper kidneys on both sides to fuse together to form horseshoe kidney, which is called horseshoe kidney. Horseshoe kidney usually does not need treatment. If there are kidney stones, urinary tract stones, hydronephrosis, tumors and aneurysms, the difficulty and risk of surgery will increase due to the structural variation of horseshoe kidney, the blood supply and the relationship with surrounding tissues. At this time, it is necessary to evaluate the risk of surgery and choose the appropriate surgical method so that it can be treated more effectively and adopt the best surgical method.
