In this article, we present the first case of SAA (Splenic Artery Aneurysm) in a kidney transplantation recipient, which was incidentally detected during the preparation of the transplantation and successfully treated. A 25-mm SAA was detected at kidney transplant recipient during the preparation examination by abdominal ultrasonography. Splenic artery ligation and aneurysmectomy was performed before the transplantation. Intraoperative Doppler ultrasonography revealed that there were no abnormalities of the spleen blood supply. During the first month of follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic and laboratory investigations revealed no abnormalities. Selective ligation and resection of SAAs combined with spleen preservation is a safe treatment modality for selected cases with favorable short and long-term results, allowing the permanent treatment of the SAA, while preserving the splenic function.
