Özet
46-year-old wife (donor) and 52-year-old husband (recipient) admitted to our clinic for kidney transplantation. CT angiography of the donor showed us there were bilateral renal double artery and a tortuous aorta that is deviated to the left side. The main artery cannot be reached by laparoscopy because of the upper level of renal artery and deviation of the aorta and an open conversion was performed. Presence of tortuous aorta with multiple renal arteries makes laparoscopic donor nephrectomy a challenging procedure even preformed by an experienced surgeon. The possibility of open conversion should always be kept in mind in these cases.
