title: Conservative treatment of renal allograft rupture with polyglactin 910 mesh and gelatin resorcin formaldehyde glue.
abstract: Renal-sparing treatment of spontaneous renal allograft rupture remains a surgical challenge, since profuse hemorrhage may result from these friable kidneys during surgical repair. A technique is proposed to achieve control of local bleeding with a synthetic glue (gelatin, resorcin and formaldehyde) and external compression with a polyglactin 910 absorbable mesh. We report 4 cases of spontaneous allograft rupture associated with rejection and bleeding was controlled in all 4. Three grafts were preserved with more than 1 year of followup. The other graft had to be removed for uncontrolled vascular rejection despite satisfactory control of renal fractures. Renal wrapping with external compression is proposed to improve results of conservative management of renal allograft rupture.
