Résumé
The unilateral or bilateral approach for nephrectomy in horseshoe kidney by minimally invasive surgery has been described. A total binephrectomy by a unilateral retroperitoneoscopic approach was performed for congenital nephrotic syndrome. A unilateral retroperitoneoscopic approach was planned in a 3-year-old boy (13 kg) with congenital nephrotic syndrome resistant to steroids with massive protein loss. The operative time was 160 min. The postoperative course was uneventful with continued hemodialysis until renal transplant 18 months later. The unilateral retroperitoneal approach allows total nephrectomy to be completed safely in horseshoe kidney for benign disease. The retroperitoneal access preserves the abdominal cavity, should peritoneal dialysis be required.
