The kidneys were retrieved en bloc with the proximal end of the aorta and vena cava oversewn and ureters sectioned as close to the bladder as possible (Fig. 1).
Transplantation of the kidney. The proximal aortic segment was anastomosed end-to-side to the right external iliac artery (EIA). The IVC (inferior vena cava) was sutured end-to-side to the right external iliac vein (EIV). The two ureters were sutured separately to the dome of the urinary bladder with two 6F, 10 cm stents in place (a) and (b).
