AB In 1917, afterdevoting several months to an experimental study of the elements of vascular suture, I attempted the autotransplantation of a kidney into the neck in the dog. After five partially successful operations, complete success was attained.May 2, 1917, the left kidney of Dog B 976 was transplanted into the neck by uniting the renal artery at its bifurcation with the common carotid artery, and the renal vein to the external jugular vein.
