The surgeons cut the patient open and insert the new kidney. The existing kidneys are not removed, even if they're failing. It is considered an unneccessary risk and potential complications could arise due to how they are positioned in the abdominal cavity.

Since the originals are not being removed, the new one is placed in the patient's pelvic area, taking its blood supply from the iliac vein and artery rather than the renal.
