BSMU Clinic surgeons performed organ-preserving surgery on a patient with a rare kidney abnormality

Horseshoe kidney is a rare congenital anomaly found in about one person out of 500-1000. In this pathology, the kidneys grow together in the lower poles, and the vascular system is distinguished by a complex and variable structure. This significantly increases the risk of massive bleeding and damage to adjacent organs during surgery. That is why patients with such a diagnosis are often recommended radical removal of the kidney.

In the Oncology Department of the BSMU Clinic, such operations are performed using the Da Vinci robotic system. High-precision technology allows surgeons to isolate the tumor as carefully as possible, accurately control vascular structures and preserve the organ even in the most difficult clinical cases.

During the intervention, surgeons encountered complex vascular anatomy rarely seen even in specialized literature. Particular attention was paid to accurate hemostasis and preservation of kidney function after resection. For clinic specialists, such interventions have already become part of the daily practice of high-tech medical care. The operation was recorded on video for subsequent professional analysis and training of colleagues.

Today, the BSMU Clinic remains one of the few medical centers where modern organ-preserving technologies are available to patients with similar diagnoses. The clinic's specialists are ready to provide assistance to patients with complex urological and oncological diseases requiring high-tech surgical treatment.
