title: [Different techniques of vessel reconstruction in kidney transplantation 10-years experiences].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The aim of the study was to analyze own results from Transplant Center Kosice, Slovak Republic.
  
  
  METHODS
  In total 457 patients in the end-stage renal failure were included to the kidney transplant program. Following techniques were used: arterioplasty, individual renal artery anastomosis and multiple renal arteries anastomosed on a common patch. The kidney transplant (Tx) especially requires surgical technique of a vascular anastomosis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Renal transplantation has been established in Transplant Center Kosice since 1988. The arterioplasty of renal artery was performed in 102 (22.3%) and individual artery anastomosis in 25 (5.5%) patients. Multiple artery anastomosis on the patch was done in 43 (9.4%) and implantation of pole renal arteries to the main trunk performed in 34 (7.4%) cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Renal transplantation is a lifesaving method in end stage renal failure.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  kidney transplantation - arterioplasty, cold ischemia time vascular anastomosis.
