Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is a common congenital kidney anomaly that is encountered frequently by urologists. It is  rare  for  HSK  to  be  affected by  xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP), a  potentially life-threatening condition. The standard of care for XGP is open nephrectomy, but recently a few case reports have been pub-lished showing the feasibility of minimally invasive surgery to deal with XGP. We present a case of HSK affected by XGP treated successfully with modified laparoscopic transperitoneal heminephrectomy. The rarity of such a combination, the modified approach, and the successful outcome encouraged us to report it.
