As there is usually considerable overlap in the renal venous drainage, it is often possible to ligate supernumerary transplant renal veins in order to simplify the implantation procedure. Nonetheless, decisions about whether to implant multiple veins can be difficult and are usually made subjectively. Here, we describe the use of intraoperative Doppler ultrasound as an adjunct to decision-making when there are two renal veins and a novel technique for the sequential anastomosis of dual veins. The kidney was reperfused after anastomosis of the main renal vein with the second vein clamped. On-table Doppler ultrasound demonstrated reversed flow in diastole indicating that the second renal vein also needed to be anastomosed. By clamping the external iliac vein inferior to the first venous anastomosis it was possible to complete the lower polar renal vein anastomosis to the external iliac vein without interrupting the perfusion of the kidney.
