Department of Surgery, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212.

En bloc transplantation of kidneys from donors who weighed less than 15 kg. into 20 adult patients is described. Intraperitonealization of the medial kidney allowed adequate renal positioning and growth. Graft venous thrombosis occurred in 1 patient and irreversible graft rejection occurred in 4 patients. Graft survival was 65% with excellent function at a mean followup of 8.8 months. En bloc transplantation of pediatric cadaver kidney grafts in adults is an acceptable procedure.
