Abstract
This paper draws attention to the fact that the left renal vein or one of its major tributaries may be ligated without apparent impairment of function of the left kidney. This information has been of great value in constructing splenorenal shunts in operations for portal decompression. Other situations in which this information might be of value are suggested.
