Issues and Surgical Techniques to Expand the Pool of Kidneys Available for Transplantation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation

Part of the book series: Current Clinical Urology ((CCU))

Abstract

This chapter details surgical and medical issues surrounding the “difficult” kidney. Transplantation of extended criteria donor kidneys, kidneys donated after cardiac death, anatomically abnormal kidneys, and kidneys from donors at the extremes of age are discussed. Also discussed are issues relating to donor-derived infections that may come up at the time of organ procurement and transplantation.
