The descending colon starts over the kidney and moves medially to expose Gerota. The spleen and pancreatic tail remain at the upper-pole interface.
Too deep enters the renal envelope early and can bleed. Too shallow risks mesentery. The reflected colon remains part of the donor.
Arterial map 1 / 4 · Default
Single artery
One aortic ostium. A common renal artery divides near the hilum into anterior and posterior branches.
Division strategy
Preserve useful common-trunk length at the aortic origin while protecting the donor aorta.
Recipient back table
One arterial inflow for the recipient. Artery and long renal vein remain distinct.
