RESUMEN
Kidneys are the most frequently transplanted organ in the United States. An infrequently encountered cause of end-stage renal disease requiring permanent dialysis is prune belly syndrome. Prune belly syndrome is mostly seen in males and over a third of patients require permanent dialysis. Due to defects in abdominal wall musculature, transplantation in these patients is technically challenging. We present a novel case of a third renal transplant in a patient with prune belly syndrome with two previous failed transplants.
