“…Prompt surgical intervention is essential to improve the prognosis of paratransplant hernia. Though the majority of SBOs that occur postoperatively after abdominal surgery resolve with supportive treatment [22], the unique occurrence of paratransplant hernia after renal transplantation requires prompt investigation and surgical management. We believe that a delay in performing surgery in patient 1 may have contributed to the mortality in that case.…”
Renal paratransplant hernia is uncommon and potentially fatal, thus, prompt diagnosis and early surgical intervention are critical. Additionally, meticulous surgical technique during transplantation may help avoid this complication.

Using the wire-exchange technique, it is easy to place a long tube into the small bowel under fluoroscopic guidance. This decompression method is safe and effective for management of EPSBO.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
