Abstract

During the course of their practice, most urologists will encounter only a few patients with renal autotransplants. Even fewer will encounter those with renal autotransplants requiring abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery. Although there is some literature describing AAA surgery in renal allotransplant patients, there is little such literature regarding AAA surgery in patients with autotransplanted kidneys. We present a case of a patient with a single, functioning, autotransplanted kidney who required AAA surgery. We also discuss the issue of the need for renal protection.
