متن کاملEx-vivo ureteroscopy at the time of live donor nephrectomy: a word of caution.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Potential transplant renal allograft recipients exceed the number of donors.

We adopted ex-vivo ureteroscopy (ExURS) to render these kidneys stone free at the time of renal transplantation. We examined the safety and efficacy of ExURS. PAT...
