Successful transplantation of pediatric en bloc kidneys with bilateral double ureters.
We report a case in which en bloc kidneys with bilateral double ureters from a 5-month-old donor were successfully transplanted into a 25-year-old recipient. No stents were used. There were no complications after the transplant. The patient remains well at more than 1.5 years post-transplantation with serum creatinine 1.2 mg/dl.
