Summary:A 56-year-old male donor was evaluated for a kidney donation. Computed tomography angiography revealed 2 right renal arteries, 1 coursing in front and 1 behind the inferior vena cava. The renal scan showed a lower glomerular filtration rate on the right side. We present a technique of retroperitoneoscopic right-sided donor nephrectomy.
