Few cases of kidney transplant have been reported in patients with situs inversus totalis. We present a 35-year old female patient with situs inversus totalis and chronic kidney disease of unknown origin who received a third graft after failure of 2 previous transplants. The first living related transplant was performed on the right side and failed after 3 years. A second related transplant was then performed on the left side, but this thrombosed graft was removed in the first week. The patient then underwent a third related transplant on the left side. Retransplant in patients with situs inversus totalis is no different than in patients with normal anatomy, provided that attention is given to the altered vascular anatomy.
