Case Report: Successful transplantation of a living donor kidney with five renal arteries procured via laparoscopy and back-table vascular reconstruction using the recipient's internal iliac artery
This case demonstrates that retroperitoneoscopic LLDN for kidneys with five renal arteries is technically feasible and safe. It highlights the utility of the recipient's internal iliac artery for <i>ex vivo</i> reconstruction, expanding the potential for successful transplantation in complex anatomical scenarios.
