title: [Use of the vena cava in renal transplantation. Extension of the right renal vein].
abstract: Vena cava is a providential material for the transplant surgeon. Prolongation of the right renal vein using vena cava is a simple and effective procedure. Consequently the inferior vena cava must be harvested with the right and not the left kidney for which it is unnecessary. The use of a long segment of vena cava makes the renal transplantation and easy, well-defined procedure without interfering with the requirements of multiorgan donation.
