in patients with a horseshoe kidney due to the specific anatomy, including caudal kidney position and rotation, aberrant vessels, and high ureteral origin. The use of robotic systems has facilitated the performance of this procedure. We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of a 1-year-old child with ureteropelvic junction obstruction associated with a horseshoe kidney. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography was the primary diagnostic modality for identifying the cause of hydronephrosis and allowed accurate determination of the true source of obstruction, namely a high origin of the ureter from the renal pelvis. The patient underwent robot-assisted Anderson–Hynes pyeloplasty. The key differences from surgery in anatomically normal kidneys included caudal placement of robotic ports and meticulous assessment of the renal vascular anatomy. The procedure was successfully completed with robotic assistance without conversion to laparoscopy or open surgery. No intraoperative complications related to bleeding or injury to adjacent organs were observed. The total operative time, including robotic docking, was 165 minutes: docking time was 15 minutes, and total console time was 150 minutes. The hospital stay lasted 5 days. The pyelostomy tube was removed on postoperative day 7 in an outpatient setting. The anteroposterior diameter of the renal pelvis was measured preoperatively and 6 months after surgery. The renal pelvis diameter decreased from 37 mm to 8 mm. Radionuclide renal imaging showed no residual obstruction on diuretic renography. The results of this case confirm that robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty for horseshoe kidney is safe, feasible, and associated with favorable outcomes when performed by experienced surgeons.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Лапароскопический подход может быть очень сложным у пациентов с подковообразной почкой, учитывая особую анатомию, заключающуюся в каудальном положении и ротации почки, наличии аберрантных сосудов, высоком отхождении мочеточника. Использование роботов упростило эту операцию. Авторы провели ретроспективный обзор истории болезни ребенка 1 года с обструкцией пиелоуретерального сегмента, которая возникла на фоне подковообразной почки. Контрастная компьютерная томография была основным методом диагностики источника гидронефроза и позволяла установить истинную причину обструкции в виде высокого отхождения мочеточника от лоханки. Пациенту была проведена робот-ассистированная пиелопластика по Андерсону–Хайнсу, главными отличиями которой от операции на анатомически нормальной почке являлись каудальное размещение роботических портов и внимательное отношение к сосудистой анатомии почки. Операция была успешно завершена с использованием робота без необходимости перехода на лапароскопию или открытую операцию. В ходе выполнения хирургического вмешательства не было отмечено осложнений, связанных с кровотечением или повреждением соседних органов. Общее время операции, включая стыковку роботической платформы, составило 165 мин, из них время стыковки робота — 15 мин, общее консольное время — 150 мин. Продолжительность пребывания пациента в больнице составила 5 дней. Пиелостома удалена на 7-е сутки после операции в амбулаторных условиях. Переднезадний диаметр лоханки был измерен до операции и через 6 мес. после выполненного хирургического вмешательства. Было достигнуто уменьшение размеров лоханки с 37 до 8 мм. Радионуклидное исследование почек продемонстрировало отсутствие остаточной обструкции на диуретической ренограмме. Результаты нашего исследования подтвердили, что робот-ассистированная лапароскопическая пиелопластика для лечения подковообразной почки безопасна, осуществима и имеет хорошие результаты в руках специалистов.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p>由于马蹄肾具有特殊的解剖学特点，包括肾脏尾侧位置、旋转异常、存在变异血管以及输尿管高位起始等，腹腔镜手术在此类患者中可能非常复杂。机器人技术的应用简化了该类手术操作。作者对一 例1岁马蹄肾合并肾盂输尿管连接部梗阻患儿的病史进行了回顾性分析。增强计算机断层扫描 是诊断肾积水病因的主要方法，并明确显示梗阻的真实原因为 输尿管自肾盂高位起始。患儿接受了 Anderson–Hynes术式的机器人辅助腹腔镜肾盂成形术。与解剖结构正常肾脏的手术相比，其主要区别在于 机器人端口的尾侧放置 以及对 肾脏血管解剖结构的高度关注。手术在完全机器人辅助下顺利完成，未需中转腹腔镜或开放手术。术中未发生与出血或邻近器官损伤相关的并发症。手术总时间，包括机器人对接，为165分钟，其中机器人对接时间15分钟，控制台操作时间150分钟。患儿住院时间为5天。肾盂造口管于术后第7天在门诊条件下拔除。分别于术前及术后6个月测定肾盂前后径。肾盂前后径由37 mm减少至8 mm。肾脏放射性核素检查的利尿性肾图显示无残余梗阻。研究结果证实，机器人辅助腹腔镜肾盂成形术用于马蹄肾患儿的治疗是安全、可行的，在专业医师操作下可取得良好手术效果。</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>robot-assisted surgery</kwd><kwd>horseshoe kidney</kwd><kwd>pyeloplasty</kwd><kwd>children</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>робот-ассистированная хирургия</kwd><kwd>подковообразная почка</kwd><kwd>пиелопластика</kwd><kwd>дети</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="zh"><kwd>机器人辅助手术</kwd><kwd>马蹄肾</kwd><kwd>肾盂成形术</kwd><kwd>儿童</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Natsis K, Piagkou M, Skotsimara A, et al.
