Abstract
Objective: Renal fusion anomalies are rare and usually present as horseshoe kidneys or crossed fusion ectopia. The complex renal anatomy seen in patients with these anomalies can present a challenge. Pre-operative planning is therefore paramount in the surgical management of these cases. Herein we report the use of interactive virtual three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction to aid renal surgery in patients with fusion anomalies of the kidney. / Materials and Methods: A total of seven cases were performed between May 2016 and October 2020. 3D reconstruction was rendered by Innersight Labs using pre-operative computed tomography (CT) scans. / Results: Five patients had malignant disease and two patients had benign pathology. Robotic and open operations were performed in four and three patients, respectively. / Conclusion: The use of 3D reconstruction in the cases reported in this series allowed for the identification of variations in renal vasculature, and this informed the choice of operative approach. / Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Evidence Level: 4.
