The technique of kidney transplantation in rhesus monkeys.
The technique of kidney transplantation in rhesus monkeys is described in detail. The rate of successful transplantations can be increased to 90-100% if several technical aspects are considered. These include adequate perfusion of the organ to be preserved, measures to prevent a sharp decrease in body temperature, doing the arterial anastomosis with interrupted sutures and prevention of low blood pressure after revascularization.
