Abstract

A 51-year-old patient underwent partial nephrectomy because of a renal cell carcinoma in a horseshoe kidney. Postoperatively a remaining calix led to persistent urinoma formation. By means of superselective embolization urine extravasation was stopped successfully. This demonstrates that superselective embolization can be an effective tool in the management of complications after open renal surgery.
