Transplantation of infant kidneys - the surgical technique en bloc and transplant position variation: A case report
Introduction. Due to the ever-present lack of kidney transplant grafts, more and more organs obtained from the so-called “marginal donors” group are accepted, which can provide suboptimal effect of transplantation, depending on their characteristics and/or implantation techniques. Case repo...

| Summary: | Introduction. Due to the ever-present lack of kidney transplant grafts, more
and more organs obtained from the so-called “marginal donors” group are
accepted, which can provide suboptimal effect of transplantation, depending
on their characteristics and/or implantation techniques. Case report. We
presented a case with successful variation of kidney position with modified
approach of kidney transplantation from an infant to an adult female patient
with normal postoperative recovery. Urethral anastomosis was performed
without antireflux procedure and this has not led to the development of
reflux disease at an early stage. Conclusion. The position of a pair of
kidneys proved to be satisfactory despite the growth of the kidney to the
expected size and relatively small pelvis. There were no problems with venous
stasis and kidney function from the very beginning was good. |
