PG - 1036.e9-1036.e13 LID - S0890-5096(13)00640-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.avsg.2013.08.015 [doi] AB - A 58-year-old woman had an incidentally found complex right renal artery aneurysm (RAA) during a clinical work-up for diverticulitis. The aneurysm measured 2.5 cm in diameter and was located at the right renal artery bifurcation. She was hospitalized and underwent hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy with ex vivo repair of the RAA and autotransplantation into the right iliac fossa. The same incision was used to remove the kidney from the retroperitoneum as was used to transplant into the right lower quadrant. She tolerated the procedure well. Her postoperative course was uncomplicated. Hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy with ex vivo repair of a complicated RAA and autotransplantation is feasible and safe.
