title: Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in a patient with previous upper pole partial nephrectomy.
abstract: A 56-year-old woman underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for symptomatic angiomyolipoma. She then donated her remaining ipsilateral kidney for renal transplantation. The allograft had good, immediate function in the recipient. This is the first reported case of a patient undergoing renal donor nephrectomy after partial nephrectomy for angiomyolipoma.
