Abstract：Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 18 patients with symptomatic horseshoe kidney admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from June 2015 to June 2024.All pa-tients underwent transperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery,and the isthmus of the horseshoe kidney was transected using a linear cutting stapler during the operation.Clinical data including operation time,postoperative hospital stay,and he-moglobin levels before and after surgery were summarized and analyzed,and a literature review was conducted.Results:All operations were successfully completed without severe intraoperative or postoperative complications,or injuries to important organs or large blood vessels.The average operation time was 253.8 minutes,the average postoperative hemoglobin reduction was 13.8 g/L,the average postoperative ventilation time was 2.3 days,and the average postoperative hospital stay was 7.6 days.Postoperative follow-up showed favorable outcomes.Conclusion:Robot-assisted laparoscopy combined with a linear cutting stapler is safe and effective for the treatment of symptomatic horseshoe kidney,with fewer complications and faster re-covery.Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopy combined with a linear cutting stapler in the treatment of symptomatic horseshoe kidney.
