AB  - Small  accessory  upper  polar  transplant  renal  arteries  rarely  need  to  be  reconstructed.  In  the  case  illustrated  here,  the  donor  kidney  had  a  1  mm  upper  polar  artery  supplying  an  estimated  15%  of  the  renal  parenchyma.  The  live  donor  was  of  small  size  (weight  of  the  kidney  was  160  grams)  compared  to  the  recipient  (over  6  feet  in  height  and  greater  than  200  lbs  in  weight).  Both  were  of  young  age.  The  decision  to  reconstruct  this  artery  was  made  after  the  kidney  had  been  implanted  and  the  size  of  the  territory  supplied  by  the  accessory  artery  clearly  identified.
