Abstract
Introduction Even in the modern era of kidney transplantation, the use of small grafts from pediatric cadaver donors remains controversial. This kind of transplantation is rare and, to date, limited data are presented. Major problems with infant kidney transplantation are difficulties in performing vascular anastomosis, vasospasm, renal vein thrombosis, and small infant kidneys with poor venous runoff. However, en bloc infant kidney transplantation could resolve this problems.
Case outline We report on transplantation of en bloc cadaver kidneys from an 18-month-old infant. The transplant recipient was a 32-year-old male, with a body weight of 65 kg. Abdominal ultrasonography showed kidneys growing, and no hydronephrosis, perirenal, or retroperitoneal collections were seen.
Conclusion Transplantation of infantile kidneys en bloc in our adult recipient provided good results. The follow-up will show the final effect.
