title: Testicular torsion after pediatric kidney transplantation.
abstract: Kidney transplantation has become the treatment of choice for children with end-stage renal disease and offers recipients an excellent quality of life. Following kidney transplantation several types of medical and surgical complications can arise. In this report, a testicular torsion occurring on the sixth day after pediatric kidney transplantation is described. It remains unclear whether this unusual complication should be regarded as coincidental or as a direct consequence of the transplantation.
