Case Report: Horseshoe Kidney Transplantation Using Split Technique.

ABSTRACT

With the increasing demand for donor organs and its limited availability, kidneys with atypical anatomy are being used more and more. The experience with transplanting horseshoe kidneys is limited. Understanding variations in uretero-pelvic anatomy and aberrant vascular anatomy is of paramount importance for the utilization of horse-shoe kidneys for transplantation. We describe our experience in procuring a horse-shoe kidney from a deceased donor, splitting the kidney and transplantation into 2 recipients.
