A case of inadvertent transection of the renal pelvis by the Endocatch bag during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is reported. This is the second reported injury resulting from the Endocatch bag. We have successfully managed the injury with continuing good renal function after 3 years. The aim of this report is to increase the awareness of this potential complication and how it can be prevented.
