lymphocele/obesity

Obese renal transplant recipients (body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m²) 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

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

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
