Expected advantages include improvements in cosmesis and patient satisfaction, and decreased postoperative analgesic requirements. Non-neoplastic cysts ...

Late 'spontaneous' kidney graft decapsulation with fluid collection: lymphocele or transudate?

Key words: acute renal failure; perirenal collection; White blood cell count was below 100/ml and fluid transplantation cultures were negative. Swelling reappeared twice after puncture and S-creatinine climbed each time to 2.5 mg/dl. Surgical intervention was carried out, firstly to explore this
