A 61-year-old female presented with an incidental anterior mid pole renal mass on ultrasound. She had previously undergone live directed donor renal transplantation 13 years prior. As the 10 year survival of living transplant recipients increases, malignancy presentations will continue to rise. Nephron sparing surgery in renal allografts is sparse due to difficult operative dissection and complicated hila vascular control. We present the use of manual atraumatic graded bowel clamp pressure around the resected tumour as a viable option to safely perform partial nephrectomy in a transplanted kidney.
