Abstract

We describe in this report the case of a renal aneurysm in a 42-year-old woman. The aneurysm measured 27 mm in diameter, and was sited at the first bifurcation of the renal artery. We performed laparoscopic nephrectomy, ex vivo angioplasty and renal autotransplant to avoid ischemic damage to the kidney during reconstruction. The patient recovered and was discharged from the hospital without any complications. Hence, we suggest these treatments can be effectively done in patients with complex renal aneurysms.
