Core Tip In living-donor kidney transplantation, short renal veins following laparoscopic donor nephrectomy can complicate vascular anastomosis. The use of a venous cuff interposition is a practical solution that increases vein length and flexibility, reduces anastomotic tension, and facilitates a secure end-to-side anastomosis to the recipient’s external iliac vein, thereby optimizing hemodynamic stability and potentially decreasing the incidence of vascular complications.
