Abstract

The authors describe a kidney transplant procedure using a living donor with a large cyst and double arteries. Due to the lack of regular transplant activity from a deceased donors, we decided to use the, so called, expanded criteria living donors, which means older age (more than 65 years), hypertension, some structural anomalies of the kidneys (cysts, multiple renal arteries), ABO incompatible kidney transplant, etc. The surgical procedure was the unroofing of a large cyst and wadding with perirenal fat. The 10 years survival rate is quite successful and we can recommend it.
