Abstract
Renal Autotransplantation (RAT) is the surgical procedure in which the kidney is initially removed and subsequently re-implanted in a different position, allowing for improved outcomes in conditions involving ureteral pathology, renovascular and neoplastic disease primarily. In this paper, we aim to build upon the understanding of RAT and especially its effectiveness in treating patients with hypertension secondary to renal artery disease, intolerant to previous treatment approaches. In particular, the ex-vivo technique will be focused upon as introduced by Ota et al. in 1967 whereby the use of the workbench is frequently applied for patients requiring in excess of 45 minutes of ischaemic time. We, therefore, put forth two cases managed in co-operation by the University of Arkansas vascular and urology departments. The first of which was a 52-year-old woman with an aneurysmal Lesion reaching the renal artery at the hilum. The second was an 18-year-old woman with Takayasu arteritis. The use of vasopressin had preserved some renal function however at the time of the diagnosis, they were experiencing difficulty in controlling their hypertension, and thus RAT was performed, and the subsequent patient postoperative outcomes and effectiveness have been recorded and analysed as part of this study.
