An extended view of renal autotransplantation in humans.
Early cases of renal autotransplantation have resulted in 2 postoperative deaths in high risk patients, 1 nephrectomy with cure of high blood pressure, 1 cure of hypertension, 3 greatly reduced hypertensions and 2 highly successful bridgings for ureteral avulsions. Anticipated improvements in selection, especially for patients with hypertension, may widen applications in institutions in which homotransplantation is familiar.
