Transplantation of a horseshoe kidney into 2 recipients

Urol Int. 1996;56(2):107-9. doi: 10.1159/000282822.

Abstract

We report the case of a transplantation of a horseshoe kidney to 2 recipients after isthmic section of the kidney. A review of the literature since 1975 mentions only 14 cases of transplantation of a horseshoe kidney. In the absence of a significant urological clinical history of the donor, the presence of a horseshoe kidney, in the case of multiorgan harvesting, does not represent a contraindication for transplantation.
