Horseshoe kidney is probably the most common renal fusion anomaly. Horseshoe kidneys have been successfully transplanted en bloc into a single recipient or, alternatively, they have been divided and implanted into 2 patients. Despite these facts the use of horseshoe kidney allografts for transplantation is rare. We report a case of the successful transplantation of an en bloc horseshoe kidney into a single recipient. The evaluation of fused kidneys for transplantation, technical considerations and previously reported cases are discussed.
马蹄肾可能是最常见的肾脏融合异常。马蹄肾已成功地整块移植给单个受者，或者将其分开后植入两名患者体内。尽管如此，马蹄肾异体移植用于移植的情况仍然很少见。我们报告一例将整块马蹄肾成功移植给单个受者的病例。文中讨论了融合肾移植的评估、技术考量以及既往报道的病例。
