We report our novel approach to overcome the problems associated with short right renal vein harvested by clipping the vein during right laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (RLDN). Instead of rather expensive and less safe stapling method (reported previously). 31 donors and their recipients were prospectively studied. All donors underwent RLDN transperitoneally. Right renal artery and vein both clipped by 2 metallic and Hem-o-clips. This resulted in really short renal vein (<1.5cm). It was technically almost impossible to anastomose short renal vein to the recipient. When placing kidney upside down, renal vein lies posterior, therefore venous anastomosis became possible and was done safely in all recipients, without mobilizing iliac vein. To our knowledge this is the first report of using simple clipping of renal vein and first intentional upside down kidney transplantation to overcome the problem of short and very short renal vein. Mean follow up was 14 months (5-22) mean operative time for RLDN 196 minutes and mean warm ischemia time was 9.5 minutes. No conversion or transfusion was required in donors. There was no arterial or venous thrombosis and no graft loss during follow up period. There was 1 ureteral fistula managed by ureteroureterostomy and 1 ureteral stricture resolved by reanastomosing to the bladder. Mean creatinine level in 3 month was 1.3 mg/dl. The length of right renal vein obtained by LDN is quite short, but by upsidedown placing of the kidney in right iliac fossa transplantation will be possible without increased incidence of vascular thrombosis.
