Horseshoe kidney is an unusual abnormality
occurring in 0.25% of the population. In surgery for AAA with
horseshoe kidney, reconstruction of aberrant renal and preservation
of renal isthmus is important. We report 3 cases of AAA with
horseshoe kidney treated successfully without division of the
isthmus.
