A 68-year-old man with an incidentally found 2-cm complex enhancing cystic right renal mass in the right moiety of a horseshoe kidney was treated with a three-port retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach. The tumor was completely excised with cold Endoshears, and Surgicel bolsters were tightly buttressed into the resection bed with 0 Vicryl sutures. The warm ischemia time was 31 minutes. To our knowledge, this is the initial case of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in a horseshoe kidney. Three-dimensional CT with volume rendering in a video format provides the necessary information about the number, location, and extrarenal anatomy of the renal artery and vein.

A 62-yr-old woman with a 2-cm enhancing renal mass in the right moiety of a horseshoe kidney was treated via a four-port transperitoneal laparoscopic approach. The tumour was excised by cold scissors, and the parenchyma was sutured with Vicryl 1 sutures with Surgicel bolster and by using pledgets of Hem-o-lok((R)) clips. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a partial nephrectomy for tumour excision on a horseshoe kidney by a transperitoneal laparoscopic approach.

A 21-year-old woman with a 4 cm enhancing cystic renal mass in the left moiety of a horseshoe kidney was treated through a retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach. The tumor was excised completely with cold scissors, and renal parenchyma suturing with a surgical bolster was done with Vicryl 2-0 sutures. Choosing the proper approach according to the location of the lesion and the surgeon's experience with both approaches are of importance in laparoscopic surgery in horseshoe kidney cases. A preoperative kidney computed tomography angiography was helpful for understanding the complex renal vasculature.
