“…Transplantation of an ectopic pelvic kidney has been rarely reported in published works. [1][2][3][4][5] In all of those cases, an extensive investigation of the living-related donors was carried out. Angiography and intravenous pyelography were done in our case, showing a single renal artery, and no anatomical ureteral abnormalities were found , with the exception of the ureter's short length.…”

“…As a result of this expansion, marginal donors and especially living donation are used as an alternative. The use of ectopic pelvic kidneys might provide an additional source of organs for transplantation, providing they are anatomically and functionally suitable 1–5 . Transplantation of ectopic pelvic kidney is feasible when there is no existence of abnormal vasculature and complex urinary drainage system.…”

Ectopic kidneys are usually contraindicated for transplantation as a result of anomalous vascular and drainage system. Graft shortage increases the need of expanding the donor pool and the use of ectopic pelvic kidneys might provide a small but useful source. Transplantation of an ectopic pelvic kidney is a technically demanding procedure and very few cases have been published. We present a case of a living-related kidney transplantation of an ectopic pelvic kidney. The donor was a healthy 65-year-old lady and preoperative work-up had showed a left ectopic pelvic kidney. The recipient was a 34-year-old male with a history of end-stage renal disease secondary to chronic glomerulonephritis. After the transplantation, there was an immediate function of the allograft and the donor's postoperative course was uneventful. The donor was discharged on the fifth postoperative day.

“…Implantation: Pelvic kidneys with single arteries arising from the aorta may be readily transplanted using an aortic Carrel patch; multiple arteries are more challenging and need to be assessed on a case by case basis but may be successfully used, even in a live donor setting (9)(10)(11)(12). The limited length of ureter may necessitate implantation of the native ureter onto the renal pelvis of the donor or an endto-side uretero-ureteric anastomosis may be required.…”
