En Bloc Kidney Transplant From a Pediatric Donor to a Pediatric Recipient Through a Total Extraperitoneal Approach : A Case Report

En bloc kidney transplant remains a technically challenging procedure, especially in pediatric transplants. The intra-abdominal approach has been the preferred operation for very young children. However, the transverse incision could result in more abdominal muscle damage and intra-abdominal adhesions. If the extraperitoneal approach, which is the standard method for adult kidney transplant, could be performed in pediatric recipients, then adverse effects after a transverse incision could be avoided. A 30-month-old female recipient (13.1 kg) underwent an en bloc kidney transplant from a 36-month-old female donor (13.3 kg) who had cardiac arrest of unknown origin. The kidneys were retrieved with the en bloc technique using a bladder patch. A right Gibson incision was made along the lateral fascia of the rectus muscle of the recipient to prevent muscle fiber damage. The inferior vena cava and aorta of the donor were anastomosed to the inferior vena cava and right common iliac artery of the recipient, respectively. The bladder patch with 2 ureteral openings was directly anastomosed to the bladder of the recipient. Urination was excellent immediately after the operation. The recipient recovered quickly. The total extraperitoneal approach is feasible and has some advantages over the transverse incision, even in pediatric recipients.
