PURPOSE Laparoscopic nephrectomy with autotransplantation is a viable option when renal preservation is required or ureteral reconstruction is impossible. In this study we report on our long-term experience with laparoscopic nephrectomy with autotransplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of data from all patients who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy with autotransplantati...

Renal autotransplantation has been described as an effective method for addressing complicated urological disorders, including debilitating ureteral injury or loss, upper ureteral malignancies, complex nephrolithiasis, loin pain hematuria syndrome, and branch or distal renal artery disease. Standard autotransplantation involves 2 distinct surgical procedures: nephrectomy and subsequent renal gr...

Impacted maxillary canines in oblique horizontal positions may make orthodontic appliance treatment hazardous or impossible. Autotransplantation may be considered but the removal of the canine is often difficult and since atraumatic removal of the transplant is essential, autotransplantation is then impossible. A new possibility is orthodontic pre-treatment with distal and vertical traction of ...

The anterior maxilla is the most prone region to the trauma during childhood, and tooth loss sometimes happens due to trauma. Replacing the missing teeth has always been one of the dentists' challenges in children and adolescents, since their dentofacial growth is not complete. Autotransplantation of mandibular premolars with two-thirds or three-quarters of root formation provides the best prog...

Autotransplantation provides the possibility of a natural tooth rather than a prothesis or an osseointegrated implant to replace a missing tooth. The indications for autotransplantation are wide, but careful patient selection coupled with an appropriate technique is a prerequisite for a good functional and esthetic outcome. Autogenous tooth transplantation is the surgical movement of a tooth fr...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) on root resorption after delayed autotransplantation in dogs. STUDY DESIGN Mandibular second and third premolars of beagle dogs were extracted to create sites for autotransplantation. After 2 months, in the experimental sites the first and fourth mandibular premolars were extracted and air...

BACKGROUND Splenectomy after combined colosplenic trauma or iatrogenic splenic injury during colorectal surgery associates with worse short- and long-term outcomes, including reduced survival in patients with colorectal cancer. Splenic autotransplantation may improve the outcomes of such patients. Omental splenic transplantation is the standard procedure but may be difficult when performing lap...

Ovarian tissue autotransplantation is an innovative fertility preservation technique that has provoked ongoing investigations. The purpose of the present study was to assess safety and reproductive performance ovarian autotransplantation. This review conducted according PRISMA guidelines. Seven studies met inclusion criteria. A total 3427 patients underwent cryopreservation 205 received Tissue ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of parathyroid gland identification and the need for routine frozen section examination before parathyroid autotransplantation during thyroidectomy. DESIGN A prospective case series. SETTING An endocrine surgical unit. PATIENTS From January 1, 1995, to December 31, 1997, parathyroid autotransplantation was attempted for devascularized or inadvertently re...
