Core Tip
Core Tip: This was a retrospective study of 12 patients with horseshoe kidney (HK) and a limited number (n ≤ 3) of 20-40 mm renal stones treated by either retroperitoneal or transperitoneal laparoscopic lithotripsy. The mean postoperative fasting time of patients in the retroperitoneal group and the transperitoneal group was 1.29 ± 0.49 and 2.40 ± 0.89 d, respectively (P = 0.019). All patients in both groups had a complete SFR and postoperative renal function was within the normal range. Both retroperitoneal and transperitoneal laparoscopic lithotripsy seem to be safe and effective for HK patients with a limited number of 20-40 mm renal stones.
