[In situ individual extraction of the kidney from cadaveric donor for kidney transplant].
A modified technique for harvesting cadaver kidneys for transplantation is described. Following en block perfusion, in situ individual--not monoblock--removal of the kidneys and their respective patches is performed to avoid complicated maneuvers that may stretch the vascular pedicle and compromise the graft. This modified technique has been utilized in over 100 procedures of kidney procurement for renal transplantation at the Puigvert Foundation.
