Summary
Deceased organ donation in Sri Lanka is still in its infancy and occurs quite infrequently. The demand for deceased donor organs is constantly increasing, especially for Kidney Transplantation (KT). DD Dual KT means transplanting both harvested kidneys into one recipient. Such transplants are carried out when the donor kidneys are sub-optimal or of the paediatric age group. When kidneys are retrieved from paediatric donors of less than 15 kilograms it can be transplanted as enbloc (keeping vessels of both kidneys on aorta and inferior vena cava (figure1) to avoid complications. Such a case has not been reported before in Sri Lanka
