“…There are only a few case reports representing successfully transplanted pelvic kidney most probably due to the complexity of the anatomy (4)(5)(6)(7)8,9,(14)(15)(16)(17). In most of the cases this complexity necessitated an open surgical approach (5-8)).…”

“…Ectopic kidneys have been rarely described in the transplant literature. While there a few case reports of using ectopic kidneys for living kidney donation [4][5][6][7], there is just one report for using a deceased donor ectopic kidney [1]. This is important because the vascular and pelviureteral anatomy can be much clearly defined preoperatively with the help of quality imaging in case of living donation.…”
