[Technical options of renal transplant in the absence of a viable ilio-caval venous circuit. Presentation of a case and review of the literature].
Congenital absence of useful ilio-caval venous segment is a very infrequent congenital anomaly and makes unfit grafting of a kidney transplant in iliac fossa. We report the case of a 18 years old male affected by this abnormality who was transplanted in intraabdominal situation. We review technical alternatives offered by the literature.
