    Abstract:
    Twenty patients with renovascular disease in 22 kidneys were treated surgically by the method of renal autotransplantation at our department during the 13 years from 1970 to 1982. Etiological disorders included 11 cases of fibromuscular dysplasia, 3 cases of atherosclerosis, 3 cases of aortitis syndrome, two cases of renal artery aneurysm and one case of renal artery thrombosis. Age distribution ranged from 13 to 64 years old (average 28.9 years), and male to female ratio was 1 to 3. Ex vivo surgery was carried out in 11 of these 20 cases. Angioplasty in 9 cases, endarterectomy and partial nephrectomy in one case each were performed extracorporeally. Reconstruction of the urinary tract was needed for 14 kidneys in 13 patients, 12 kidneys were treated by UCN, and PU anastomosis was performed in 2 kidneys in 2 patients. Outcome of renal autotransplantation was "cured" in 17 cases and "improved" in 3 cases during follow-up period from 8 months to 13 years. Revision was successful for the postoperative complication such as urine leakage, bladder tamponade, perirenal fluid collection and ileus.
