title: "En bloc" paediatric renal donors into adult recipients -- the Newcastle technique.
abstract: Whilst debate still continues about the best use of kidneys from small donors, the techniques used have been varied because of the high vascular thromboses rates and ureteric leak rates. The method described here employs a vessel transposition as described by two German series, but it is combined with an extraperitoneal approach. It is now the method of choice in our unit for such en bloc transplants.
