Transplant renal artery false aneurysm: case report and literature review

This is a case report of a 59 years old male who had a commercial non-related living renal transplantation for his end stage renal insufficiency secondary to adult polycystic kidney disease. He suffered an immediate and early post-operative bleeding, which was managed conservatively. He was presented at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital four months after his transplant with abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite and a rise in serum creatinine levels. Ultrasonography and angiography have shown a 4 cm false aneurysm of the transplant renal artery at the anastomotic site with the external iliac artery. Surgical exploration with resection of the false aneurysm and reanastomosis of the donor renal artery to the external iliac artery was carried out successfully with preservation of the renal allograft. This is a rare case of an extra-renal false aneurysm at the anastomotic site of the transplant renal artery to the external iliac artery four months after renal allotransplantation. Literature review on the management and outcome of false aneurysms after renal transplant was carried out

Surgical technique for retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy: a case report

A case of right non-functioning kidney secondary to chronic pyelonephritis is presented. The successful management through retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy is described, emphasising the technique of this minimally invasive therapeutic option

Laproscopic assisted percutaneous nephrolithotomy [PCNL] in ectopic pelvic kidney

We report the case of a patient with pain and an abdominal palpable mass whose tests showed a right pelvic kidney with a 4-cm stone in the renal pelvis. We describe the successful management through laparoscopic assisted percutaneous nephrolithotomy [PCNL] in ectopic pelvic kidney, stressing that this method is a minimally invasive therapeutic option in such cases
