“…Taking together, we would support use of the restored kidney grafts for transplantation after ex vivo excision of a small tumour as a novel source. Our study will provide additional supporting evidence to the recent literature review by Hevia et al that kidney transplant by using kidneys after excised low‐grade small renal tumours appears to be safe in terms of overall survival, graft survival and oncological outcomes in appropriate selected recipients [46]. Establishment of a structured programme would facilitate expanding utilization of this type of kidney grafts.…”

The aim of this study is to report long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation by using the kidney graft after a small tumour ex vivo excision. A structured programme was established to use the restored kidney graft from urological referral after radical nephrectomy. The criteria were defined as tumour size ≤3 cm, margin clear on frozen section and recipients aged ≥60 years or those on the urgent list for transplantation as a result of imminent lack of dialysis access. The recipients were followed up regularly for surveillance of tumour recurrence. Between February 2007 and February 2018, 28 recipients had kidney transplantation by using the restored kidney grafts. The tumour size was 2.6 AE 0.7 cm. The follow-up was median 7 years without evidence of tumour recurrence. The patient and graft survival was satisfactory. Kidney transplantation by using restored kidneys after a small tumour excision is a novel source for selected recipients. The long-term patient and graft survival is satisfactory. Although there is a risk of tumour recurrence, it is rare event. Together with literature review, we would support use of kidney graft after a small tumour excision for selected recipients.

“…67 A systematic review of published cases until June 2017 identified 109 such transplantations. 68 Most excised tumors were RCC (81%), mean tumor size was 2 cm (range 0.5–6.0 cm; predominantly <4 cm), and nucleolar/Fuhrman grade I–II in 93%, all had clear margins. Mean follow-up was 39.9 mo, there was only 1 local tumor relapse (after 9 y), other outcomes were inconsistently reported.…”

“…There is no consensus on the acceptable size of tumor before restoration of a donor kidney for transplantation though several reviews mention <4 cm, 68 , 70 some <3 cm. 29 The Council of Europe stratify risk according to size and grade of the RCC, that is, <1, 1–4, and 4–7 cm as minimal, low, and intermediate risk, respectively, conditional on nucleolar/Fuhrman grade I–II.…”
