Superselective embolization in management of remnant renal moiety and vessels after radical nephrectomy in horseshoe kidney

Horseshoe kidney is a congenital disorder in which two kidneys are fused together in the isthmus. The anatomy could lead to increased risk of urinary tract infections and renal cancers. When performing a hemi-nephrectomy, it is important to identify all blood supply and ensure total excision of pare...

description Horseshoe kidney is a congenital disorder in which two kidneys are fused together in the isthmus. The anatomy could lead to increased risk of urinary tract infections and renal cancers. When performing a hemi-nephrectomy, it is important to identify all blood supply and ensure total excision of parenchyma and collecting system of the moiety operated upon. We present a case of left heminephrectomy complicated by urinoma secondary to residual tissue in the left moiety. We discuss the role of superselective embolization and other technologies in management of this complication and challenges faced due to aberrant vascularity and abnormal anatomy.
