To ascertain efficacy and specific features of percutaneous puncture nephrolithotripsy (TPNT) in concrements of the horseshoe kidney (HSK), we analysed the results of polyposition x-ray examination of 19 patients with HSK, modeling of percutaneous intervention on 3 cadever HSK and TPNT in 56 patients with concrements of HSK. The analysis showed that TPNT alone or in combination with extracorporeal lithotripsy destroyed the concrements which completely eliminated from the HSK in 48 (85.7%) patients. Specific features of TPNT in HSK concrements and relevant complications are characterized. Thus, TPNT in HSK concrements is an effective and low traumatic operation in patients with severe kidney anomalies.
