title: [Transplantation of kidneys of juvenile donors in adult recipients. 1. Operation technic in 2 and 4-week-old donors in the rat model].
abstract: A microsurgical technique of baby kidney transplantation into adult recipients in rats is presented in detail. Using this orthotopic technique to study the growth capacity of transplanted baby kidneys, we have created a model with donors less than 4 weeks of age. The donor vessels with cuffs of the aorta and vena cava are anastomosed end-to-end to the recipient's renal artery and vein. The ureteric reconstruction is performed by a non-splinted end-to-end anastomosis.
