Case description

About 25% of patients on the waiting lists have renal allograft failure. It is important to find out whether the subsequent kidney transplantation is connected to the higher risk of surgical complications. 406 kidney recipients that received a kidney graft between 2013 and 2015 in a single transplant centre were taken to the analysis. We asked whether the subsequent kidney transplantation is connected to more frequent surgical complications. In the retransplant group there were 3 patients who had lost their kidney graft during follow-up period because of surgical complications. All complications occurred within the first 6 days after transplantation.
