Internal bowel herniation under the ureter of an intraperitoneally transplanted kidney is a rare complication yet carries a high burden of morbidity and potential mortality if not recognized and managed appropriately. We describe a case where early intervention salvaged the bowel without ureteral injury. We also describe a technique to close the space beneath the ureter to prevent further episodes of internal herniation.
