Outcomes of Kidney Transplantations From the Same Deceased Donor to Two Different Recipients: A Single-Center Experience.
BACKGROUND
Kidney transplantation is the best treatment method for end-stage renal disease. Technically, left kidney transplantation is easier than right kidney, and the complication rates in the right are higher than the left kidney. We performed 28 kidney transplantations from 14 deceased donors between November 2010 and May 2016. Our aim was to share our outcomes and experiences about these 28 patients.


METHODS
We performed 182 kidney transplantations between November 2010 and May 2016. Fifty-four kidney transplantations were performed from deceased donors. Thirty-two of these were performed from 16 of the same donors. These 32 recipients' data were collected and retrospectively analyzed. We excluded the transplantations from two same-donors to their four recipients in this study. The remaining 28 recipients were included in the study.


RESULTS
The left and right kidney recipients' numbers were equal (14:14). The left kidney:right kidney rate was 11:3 in the first kidney transplantation recipient group; in the second kidney transplantation recipient group, the rate was 3:11. The difference was statistically significant (P = .002). We found no statistical differences for sex, mean age, and body mass index of recipients, total ischemic time of grafts, hospitalization times, creatinine levels at discharge time, and current ratio of postoperative complications of recipients (P > .05).


CONCLUSIONS
There were no differences in the left or the right kidneys or in the first and the second kidney transplantations during the long follow-up period.
