[Unexpected anuria during Miles' operation in a renal-transplant patient].

We report a case of 33-yr-old-male after orthotopic renal transplantation 18 years ago, presenting with sudden anuria during Miles' operation. This anuria was caused by temporal compression of the transplanted kidney by retractor, neither by acute renal failure, the rejection nor the damage of the ureter by the surgical procedure. This case indicates that in the anesthetic management after renal transplantation, we have to be careful about renal dysfunction due to surgical procedure or positioning, in addition to side effects and pharmacokinetics of drugs used perioperatively.
