Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy in the Setting of Prior Bilateral Renal Transplant, a Case Report and Review of the Literature.

In recent years, more women are undergoing renal transplantation as a treatment for end-stage renal disease. Women with kidney transplants are prone to certain gynecologic issues which might necessitate hysterectomy. Laparoscopic hysterectomy can safely be performed in patients with prior unilateral or bilateral renal transplantation. Laparoscopy offers magnification of anatomy, decreased wound-related problems, and continuation of immunosuppression therapy. We present a case report and review of the literature for total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy for a patient with prior bilateral renal transplant.
