Most kidney transplant procedures are heterotopic, where the kidney is implanted above the pelvic bone and attached to the patient s iliac artery and vein. The ureter of the transplant kidney is attached directly to the recipient s bladder or native ureter. The native kidneys usually are not removed, and data have shown that under most circumstances, removal of the native kidneys does not influence patient survival and allograft survival.
