Abstract
Six patients with a stone disease and/or ureteropelvic junction obstruction in a horseshoe kidney underwent percutaneous surgery. No major complications were observed and only 1 patient presented residual fragments in the lower calyx 3 months after treatment. The special features of the use of percutaneous nephrolithotomy and endopyelotomy for this anomaly are described.
