It was opened longitudinally, folded over, and anastomosed to the donor renal vein using end-to-end anastomosis with an 8-0 Prolene (Figure 1). Consequently, the recipient IEA was used as an extension graft to perform an end-to-side anastomosis between the upper pole arterial branch and the main renal artery using 8-0 Prolene (Figure 1). The calyces and the renal parenchyma were oversewed with 5-0 PDS and the edges of the defect with U-stitch of 4-0 PDS using pledget (Figure 1).
