Popis: Comprehensive preoperative evaluation of potential donors is crucial for selecting the right donor, with adequately functioning kidneys, and the best surgical approach for harvesting the organs to prevent donor-related complications and to assure good recipient graft function. Multidetector computed tomography is the choice of imaging in the preoperative evaluation of living renal donors with an accuracy of 95%–100%. The donor must retain one normal kidney. The left kidney is preferred for living donor nephrectomy because it has a longer renal vein and it is technically easier to remove. It is always preferable to choose kidneys with a single artery because both donor and recipient surgeries are less complicated and there is less risk for arterial thrombosis. We report in a case of successful transplantation wherein the donor had an early division of the main renal artery bilaterally as well as bilateral accessory renal arteries.
