Renal cancer arising in the horseshoe kidney is very rare. In the present case, a 70-year-old man with cT3aN0M0 renal cancer arising in the horseshoe kidney was treated with intraoperative camera positioning and indocyanine green and near-infrared catheter to safely perform robot-assisted radical nephrectomy, which enabled a safer and smoother procedure. These techniques are useful for robot-assisted radical nephrectomy in cases of renal cell carcinoma of the horseshoe kidney.
