Ex-vivo partial nephrectomy after living donor nephrectomy: Surgical technique for expanding kidney donor pool
Renal transplantation has profound improvements in mortality, morbidity, and overall quality of life compared to renal replacement therapy. This report aims to illustrate the use of ex-vivo partial nephrectomy in a patient with a renal angiomyolipoma prior to living donor transplantation. The surgical outcomes of the donor nephrectomy and recipient transplantation are reported with 2 years of f...

In renal transplant, there is a well-known deficiency in organ supply relative to demand. Live donation provides superior results when compared with deceased donation including a better rate of graft success and fewer immunologic complications. This deficiency in organs leads to significant morbidity and mortality rates. Alternative avenues have been extensively explored that may expand the liv...
متن کاملExpanding the donor pool--preliminary outcome of kidney recipients from infected donors.

METHODS We expanded our criteria for cadaver donors to include those with active infections. From January 2004 through August 2005, there were 25 cadaveric transplantations in our center. Infected donors accounted for 13 transplants and the ...

Advances in the surgical techniques, preservation solutions, and methods for predicting eventual long-term renal function from expanded donors will be critical in allowing precise selection criteria for kidneys for transplantation, resulting in the optimum use of a scarce and precious resource. Until other options such as xenotransplantation or tissue engineering become realistic, the challenge...
