Abstract
Seven patients with nephrolithiasis in a horseshoe kidney were successfully treated with either extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrostolithotomy, or combined therapy. The embryologic origin of the horseshoe kidney with the rotation anomaly and the varied vascular supply is discussed, with special reference to the management of horseshoe kidney nephrolithiasis.Keywords
