summary

The authors report a patient in whom during right-sided nephrectomy perform-ed because of a tumour the inferior caval viein was damaged. The vein was ligat-ed for saving the life of the patient. Anuria developing after the operation was caused by acute isehaemia of the contraJateral kidney. Owing to twice repeated peritoineal dialysis normal diuresis was achieved. Collateral circulation developiing after 14?18 days replaced the function of the ligated veiin. Oedema of the lower extremities regressed. After 8 months of follow-up the generał condition of the patient was good.
