Abstract

We report on a renal autotransplant case with bench surgery from Cape Town, performed for a 4.5 cm hilar renal cell carcinoma in a patient with a single kidney. We describe the procedure and perioperative course and also review the common indications for renal autotransplantation. This is followed by the results from the reported series for renal autotransplantation and bench surgery for neoplastic disease.
