ESU Course 13: Urological management of renal failure and renal transplantation – treatment of urological complications
Chair: K. Dreikorn, Bremen (DE)
 
 
Aims and objectives: Given the dramatic improvement in short- and long-term graft survival, renal transplantation is nowadays the most effective treatment of end stage renal failure. Recipients considered for transplant are older and pose more problems than in the past, in some cases requiring specific urological preparation. We would like to share our experience concerning the selected items with the audience. These include how to prepare transplant recipients with surgical or urological problems, how to choose the most safe technique for performing living donor nephrectomy, how to deal with unusual situations of renal procurement or transplantation and finally for urologists, how to diagnose and manage urological complications.
