Native nephrectomies in patients scheduled for a kidney transplant may represent a major challenge. The timing of the procedures as well as the magnitude of both surgical procedures require a risk mitigation strategy that may be restricted by the specific condition of the patients. We report a case of a simultaneous laparoscopic hand-assisted native nephrectomy contralateral to the site of the living donor kidney transplant.
