Anastomosis of dual renal transplant veins

Abstract: As there is usually considerable overlap in the renal venous drainage, it is often possible to ligate supernumerary transplant renal veins in order to simplify the implantation procedure. Nonetheless, decisions about whether to implant multiple veins can be difficult and are usually made subjectively. Here, we describe the use of intraoperative Doppler ultrasound as an adjunct to decision-making when there are two renal veins and a novel technique for the sequential anastomosis of dual veins. The kidney was re… Show more

“…1 In the case of multiple renal veins, the frequency of out-flow block by sacrifice of remaining veins is unknown, but a method to check for congestion by Doppler ultrasound examination has been reported. 2 When transplanting the right kidney, it is unlikely that venous reconstruction will be necessary in most cases as the renal vein may be stretched due to its short length and blood flow in transplanted kidneys may be impaired. Most reconstructions often include end-to-side anastomosis with the external iliac vein.…”
