Horseshoe kidney is one of the commonest congenital renal fusion anomalies with an incidence of 0.25% in general population. Disturbances in urine flow, drainage and concomitant infections promote stone formation is common. Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) in horseshoe kidney is a challenge...

description Horseshoe kidney is one of the commonest congenital renal fusion anomalies with an incidence of 0.25% in general population. Disturbances in urine flow, drainage and concomitant infections promote stone formation is common.

Hereby, we report our first experience with PCNL in this anomaly, a 55 year old with left staghorn renal calculi in a horseshoe kidney
