title: Ex vivo surgery on the renal allograft.
abstract: Ex vivo surgery has brought an important contribution to the solution of renovascular problems. In our experience, the simplest application of ex vivo surgical techniques has been the revision of the arterial anatomy of the renal allograft to facilitate subsequent implantation into the recipient. We report herein four cases of renal transplantation illustrating this approach.
