  • Title: [Surgery ex situ in kidney transplantation].
    Author: Benoit G, Hammoudi Y, Bellamy J, Bensadoun H, Charpentier B, Fries D, Jardin A.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1988; 22(6):452-4. PubMed ID: 3066288.
    Abstract:
    123 vascular surgical procedures were performed ex situ in the course of 534 renal transplantations performed between 1982 and 1987. This study demonstrates that the elongation of the renal vein facilitates the transplantation and significantly reduces the risk of arterial stenosis and that arterial repairs, in the case of multiple arteries, constitute a reliable technique. The elongation of the renal vein means that all donor right kidneys must be procured with the infra-renal inferior vena cava. Donor kidneys with multiple arteries without patch graft can be repaired on the table in the great majority of cases.
