Uterine myomatosis is the main cause of abnormal uterine bleeding in women. The diagnosis approach is a challenge to the gynecologist; they must provide the ideal treatment to improve the quality of life of the patient. Laparoscopic hysterectomy is emerging as one of the elected procedures for such pathology. In previous renal transplants, it has been reported that minimal invasion is a useful alternative as opposed to a surgical approach when it comes to uterine pathology; however, there are very few cases reported in the literature with a bilateral renal transplant.
