Mesenteric cysts of the abdomen affecting patients of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are not common. In the absence of symptoms, they may remain undetected unless large in size. When present, the cysts have to be treated by surgical excision. In patients awaiting kidney transplantation, surgery for the cyst can be a potential hindrance in the planning of transplantation as morbidity and mortality of surgery in patients of ESRD is very high. We report a 27-year-old male awaiting kidney transplantation, who presented to us with a large mesenteric cyst. We conducted a simultaneous surgery of mesenteric cyst and kidney transplantation successfully.

Supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a less practiced modality for the treatment of upper-tract calculi. We hereby present our single center experience in 100 patients treated by supine PCNL over a period of 18 months. We found the procedure simple and feasible.

Available online xxxKeywords:Renal rupture Allograft Renal transplant a b s t r a c t Renal allograft rupture is one of the most dreaded complications in patients of kidney transplantation. It has a dramatic and stormy course and may be life threatening for the patient. Although rare, it has to be recognised early and surgical correction and or graft nephrectomy may often be required to salvage the patient. It is usually observed in the first two weeks after transplant. We herein report a case of spontaneous renal allograft rupture in a 50 years old female patient who had undergone a live donor kidney transplantation from her spouse. The patient had a renal rupture on ninth day of surgery. She was reexplored and the rupture was repaired using 2-0 vicryl mattress sutures over surgicell.Her graft recovered completely by day 3 after the repair. However she had pulmonary embolism a day prior to discharge and she succumbed with a functioning graft.
