title: Cadaver donor nephrectomy.
abstract: Optimal preservation of renal and ureteral structure and function is attempted by maintenance of renal circulation during heart-beating cadaver nephrectomy. Modifications of Ackermann's en bloc procedure for removal of cadaver kidneys are suggested to adapt this procedure to the heart-beating cadaver situation.
