UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION AND STATE OF THE ART: Both short and long-term outcomes following lung transplantation have improved substantially in recent years as a result of advances in the selection and management of donors, organ preservation, immunosuppressive therapy, and the treatment of infectious and malignant complications. In addition surgical techniques have evolved over time and have con...

The great advances in the technology of organ preservation, immunosuppression, and surgical procedures have resulted in success in saving lives. However, these advantages have raised major ethical, policy, and religious problems in organ transplantation. Extensive efforts have been made to address these problems in different communities. In this study the transplantation program and implementat...

Over the last 15 years whole organ pancreas transplantation has emerged as the treatment of choice for selected patients with uremia and Type I Diabetes Mellitus. Improvements in surgical technique, better understanding of transplant related complications and advances in immunosuppressive therapy have encouraged the application of this procedure to an increasing number of patients. Pancreas tra...

BACKGROUND The indication and timing of nephrectomy in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) remain controversial, especially in patients who are candidates to renal transplantation (RT). The main surgical options such as unilateral vs. bilateral nephrectomy, nephrectomy before vs. after RT, or simultaneous nephrectomy and transplantation, are herein discussed. OB...

Organ transplantation represents one of the medical fields with the largest impact and advances. Liver transplantation constitutes a constant challenge in finding viable options to maintain or recover an adequate function when faced with end-stage liver failure. Critical review of the literature was conducted in specific topics on liver transplantation and development in Mexico. We focused our ...

Objective- The liver has a unique location in the body for performing multiple functions such as,metabolism, detoxification and synthesis. There are limitation for liver transplantation due to shortage ofavailable donors and requires for sophisticated technology and support surgical teams. The purpose of thisstudy was to investigate the hepatocyte transplantation into the spleen of animal model...

BACKGROUND Lung transplantation remains the gold standard treatment for patients with end-stage lung disease. Lobar lung transplantation allows for transplantation of size-mismatch donor lungs in small recipients; however, donor lung volume reduction represents a challenging surgical technique. In this paper we present our initial experience with bilateral lobectomy in donor lungs before lobar ...

The treatment of intraand extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas remains a medical challenge. Due to the poor efficacy of conventional chemotherapy, surgical treatment modalities represent the only chance of attaining long-term survival and cure. The introduction of new procedures, in particular extended liver resections – which were enabled by increasing surgical expertise and the implementation of ...

BACKGROUND Low case volume has been associated with poorer surgical outcomes in a multitude of surgical procedures. We studied the association among low case volume, outcomes, and the likelihood of pediatric liver transplantation. METHODS We studied a cohort of 6628 candidates listed in the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network for primary pediatric liver transplantation between 2002 ...
