title: [A comparative evaluation of different methods for the removal of cadaveric kidneys for transplantation].
abstract: Under analysis is an experience with the removal of renal transplants from 102 corpses after heart arrest. For the removal two methods were used: nephrectomy by block with the following perfusion (45 donors) and nephrectomy after a preliminary intracorporal intra-aortal perfusion of the kidneys (57 donors). In the first group of observations 47 organs (52%) were good for transplantation (well washed kidneys with good turgor), in the second one--91 organs (80%). The perfusion "in situ" gave both valuable kidneys much more often than the routine technique of taking. The removal of kidneys following the preliminary cold perfusion should be considered the method of choice when working with the non-heart-beating donors.
