Abstract
The association between ADPKD and horseshoe kidney is rare (1 in 134,000 to 1 in 8 million cases), and is reported in fewer than 20 cases in the literature.

In this case, we performed a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy of the left renal unit of the polycystic horseshoe kidney with complete resolutionFile in questo prodotto:
