Abstract
Kidney autotransplantation (KAT) is the ultimate approach for nephron-sparing surgery. It is a rarely used method in renal tumor surgery today as minimal invasive and open techniques for nephron-sparing surgery improve constantly. In this publication, the complication rate and the long-term functional and oncological outcome at a single center are analyzed. A prospectively constructed database of patients with renal tumors who underwent renal surgery was retrospectively analyzed to identify patients with KAT and describe surgical and oncological outcomes and to obtain long-term follow-up. Data collection included detailed surgical technique, complications (Clavian-Dindo), and hospital stay, as well as functional and oncological outcome and long-term follow-up. Between 1976 and 2013, 12 patients (median age 50.5 years) underwent KAT for highly complex renal masses: in five cases for complex renal cell carcinoma (RCC), five cases for complex upper urinary tract carcinoma (UTUC), one case for a renal metastasis, and one case for nephroblastoma. The nephrectomy or nephron-ureterectomy was performed open via a flank or transabdominal. The median surgical time was 360 min (range 270-490 min). Intraoperatively, six cases required bloo...Continue Reading
