En bloc kidney transplants of small pediatric kidneys into adult recipients have been shown to have outcomes similar to transplants from standard adult deceased donors. Here, we report a 27-year-old male patient with successful repair of bilateral ureteral stricture 3 years after en bloc kidney transplant at the Shahid Modarres Hospital (Tehran, Iran). The patient received an en bloc deceased kidney donation from a 9-month-old infant. An end-to-end anastomosis of the aorta to the internal iliac artery and an end-to-side external iliac vein anastomosis to vena cava were performed. At an outpatient visit about 2.5 years later, the patient showed increasing levels of creatinine from 1.1 to 1.8 mg/dL compared with measurements at his 2-month visit. A computed tomography scan performed without any contrast agent at that time confirmed the existence of hydronephrosis in both the medial and lateral kidneys. A nephrostography showed a ureteral stricture. Because endoscopic surgery for ureteral dilatation was not successful, the decision was made to perform ureteral repair by the open surgical technique. The short length of the ureters resulted in the lateral renal pelvis being anastomosed to the bladder by flap (Boari flap). The ureter of the patient's native kidney was transected in the middle portion, and the distal ureter was anastomosed to the medial renal pelvis using the end-to-end method. Here, we showed that, despite limited experiences with pediatric donors, en bloc kidney transplant can be performed under the guidance of experienced surgical techniques and precise postoperative follow-up.
