title: [Indications and results of ex-vivo surgery of the kidney].
abstract: 394 renal transplantations have been performed in our unit between 1974 and 1995. In all instances extra-corporal surgical procedures on the graft, its vessels and, in rare instances, on the collecting system were necessary. The surgical procedures, which took up to 90 minutes on the work-bench, ranged from repair of minor iatrogenic vascular injuries to major vascular reconstructions, in order to facilitate the subsequent implantation of the graft. During the same period work-bench surgical procedures with subsequent autotransplantation were performed in 8 patients. The indication for such a procedure was a renal cell carcinoma in 2 patients with a solitary kidney and bilateral renal cell carcinoma in 1 patient, as well as renovascular disease (renal artery stenosis, aneurysm of the renal artery) in the remaining 5 cases.
