Abstract

The repair of pre-existing bladder sphincter lesions in patients excluded from kidney transplant programs, and the recovery of grafts threatened by ureteral complications, are favourable influences in establishing equilibrium between dialysis and transplantation. In a series of 74 kidney transplants, two patients were able to receive grafts: one after the reconstruction of an ileal tube and the other after bladder diverticulectomy and resection of the bladder neck. Two other grafts, complicated by ureteral necrosis, were able to be conserved following a uretero-ureterostomy in the first case, and a psoic bladder in the second. These repair operations are discussed from three points of view: incidence, procedures, and complications. Advances made in transplanting kidneys encourage its use in patients who were previously excluded from receiving transplants because of bladder sphincter lesions. These lesions can be the cause of a renal insufficiency, or those associated with the original kidney disease. This group of patients represents 3 to 5% of the population of patients on permanent dialysis who respond to the other criteria for inclusion in the lists of potential receivers of kidney transplants: some of them could benefit fro...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
