Abstract

During the course of their practice, most urologists will encounter only a few patients with renal autotransplants. Even fewer will encounter those withrenal 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 withautotransplanted kidneys. We present a case of a patient with a single, functioning, autotransplanted kidney who required AAA surgery. We also discussthe issue of the need for renal protection.
