Wound Complications After Kidney Transplantation in Nondiabetic Patients

Incision length for kidney transplantation does not influence short‐ or long‐term outcome: a prospective randomized controlled trial

“…With similar baseline characteristics, short‐term outcome, including 30‐d patient morbidity and mortality, did not differ significantly between the two groups and was well within the rate of possible postoperative complications following kidney transplantation . Furthermore, graft function, including creatinine follow‐up measurements, documented graft failure requiring graft explantation or renewed dialysis was again similar in both groups.…”

Incidental thyroid papillary microcarcinoma on 1777 surgically treated patients for benign thyroid disease

“…Despite the overall excellent prognosis, in the literature mPTC is associated with a 1.0% disease-related mortality rate, a 5.0% lymph node recurrence rate, and a 2.5% distant metastasis rate [5]. Therefore, other authors, even taking into account the possibility of multifocality and the risks associated with a second surgery, support total thyroidectomy as the most acceptable procedure [6,12,24,25]. Moreover, total thyroidectomy allows easier follow-up, in particular with regard to scintigraphic scan and thyroglobulin measurement [6].…”

Functional significance and risk factors for lymphocele formation after renal transplantation

“…There is substantial evidence implicating immunosuppressive agents as risk factors for lymphocele formation. These studies implicate mycophenolate alone, mycophenolate with cyclosporine A, sirolimus alone, sirolimus with cyclosporine A, sirolimus with mycophenolate or prednisolone . Pengel et al .…”
