Renal transplantation and placement of ileal stoma

The literature has been reviewed to present the techniques used by others when renal transplantation is done in conjunction with ileal segment urinary diversion. A successful technique for the convenient placement of the ileal stoma away from the transplanted kidney in the left lower abdominal quadrant while placing the donor kidney in the right iliac fossa is described and recommended, using a fourteen-year-old patient as an illustrative case.
