BACKGROUND
Obese renal transplant recipients (body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m
2) are at risk of delayed graft function and postoperative complications, such as infections or delayed wound healing. There is also a tendency to exclude extremely obese patients from
OBJECTIVE
Renal transplant is the criterion standard treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. Because obesity rates are increasing in the global population, international standards on renal transplant in obese patients remain a gray area. The aim of this study was to determine whether
Wound complication frequently arises after kidney transplantation and its risk factors are well known. In a previous paper we analyzed these factors, and in this new retrospective study we evaluate the influence of lymphocele in the development of wound Symptomatic post-transplantation renal lymphoceles are usually treated with Byron's technique--medical laparotomy, internal drainage with fenestration, transperitoneal marsupialization and epiploplasty. The same procedure was performed laparoscopically in a 34 year old obese man who had a renal
Renal transplantation is the best renal replacement treatment. It provides longer survival and a better quality of life. The outcome of renal transplantation is influenced by the occurrence of various complications, including urological. One of the most frequently occurring complications is
We report a retrospective series of 126 patients seen in 1992 for conservative surgery (group T) or Patey procedure (group P) for breast cancer. We looked for factors predictive of axillary lymphocele and their prevention. Axillary lymphadenectomy performed in patients undergoing surgery for breast
OBJECTIVE
To compare feasibility and surgical outcome of laparoscopic gynecologic surgery between obese, overweight, normal-weight, and underweight women.
METHODS
Retrospective case control study (Canadian Task Force classification II-3).
METHODS
Surgery Unit of Minimally Invasive
OBJECTIVE
We compared the incidence of lymphocele formation and treatment in kidney transplant recipients given 3 immunosuppressive drug regimens.
METHODS
Consecutive series of adult kidney only recipients, including group 1-152 who received sirolimus/mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)/prednisone (P),
Although obesity has been associated with improved survival on dialysis, its short-and long-term effects on renal transplantation outcomes remain unclear. Herein, we evaluate the short-term and intermediate long-term effects of obesity on first-time renal transplant patients. A retrospective
The effect of obesity on renal transplant outcome remains unclear due to conflicting published studies. The purpose of this study was to assess whether obesity affects the outcome in renal transplant patients.
METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed 33 obese (BMI >30; mean = 34.1 +/- 3.68; group I) and
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to compare kidney transplant outcomes among pretransplantation overweight and obese patients with those with normal weight.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective analysis of a sample of 448 kidney transplantations performed between 1984 and 2008 in our
Impaired surgical site healing occurs in 20% to 50% of sirolimus (SRL)-treated renal transplant (RT) recipients, with most patients having received concomitant corticosteroids. We determined the incidence of surgical site complications among RT recipients receiving SRL with mycophenolate mofetil
Robot-assisted surgery has become widely adopted in urology due to advantages in comparison with laparoscopic or open approaches. Robot-assisted living kidney transplantation is one of the most challenging procedures in urology regarding technical, but also psychological and ethical OBJECTIVE
To compare early complications in patients with/without stents following renal transplantation and to determine whether routine stenting should be used in all renal transplant patients or not.
METHODS
194 patients (108 males, 86 females, mean age: 45.2 ± 13.2 years) who were followed-up at
BACKGROUND
Prevention of wound complications is an important goal in surgery, and reduction of modifiable risks factors are an important step towards protecting patients from further complications. Renal transplantation has sought to be more inclusive giving access to transplantation to complex
